Supporting Ourselves and Our Teams After Distressing Incidents

Supporting Ourselves and Our Teams After Distressing Incidents

Distressing incidents can affect people long after the immediate event. Staff may feel unsettled, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Managers, colleagues and support workers may also be uncertain about how best to respond or when additional support is needed.

This practical, trauma-informed online workshop, delivered by Transforming Mental Health Ltd, explores how we can look after our own wellbeing while responding compassionately and appropriately to colleagues and others following difficult experiences.

What will participants learn?

Across two interactive sessions, participants will explore:

• Understanding stress, distress and trauma.
• Recognising our responses to difficult experiences.
• Practical approaches to self-care, coping and recovery.
• Supporting wellbeing in the workplace.
• Understanding loss and bereavement.
• Using the CARE approach to recognise and explore support needs.
• Developing trauma-informed listening skills.
• Having supportive conversations with confidence.
• Maintaining appropriate boundaries, recognising safety concerns and knowing when further support may be needed.

Through realistic case studies, small-group discussions and practical listening activities, participants will develop greater awareness and confidence in supporting themselves and others.

Who is this workshop for?

The training is particularly relevant to managers, team leaders, HR and workplace wellbeing professionals, social care staff, support workers, and those working in voluntary and community organisations.
