Several days into a new job, my colleague collapsed in the middle of the office, sending a cascade of papers onto the floor.

After the flurry of support and my colleague was rushed home for help, I grappled with what had happened.

You know that silence that is so loud that your whole body buzzes with the feel of it?

Where everything slows down and moves fast; is silent and screamingly loud, at the same time?

That is how I remember the shock of seeing the physical impact of burnout, up close, in its distressing reality.

My colleague had been working for years with an unmanageable caseload of highly traumatised children, without supervision, and with ever-increasing tasks added to her to-do list.

Impaired psychomotor functioning is an extreme reaction to chronic stress; but it is just one of the many, potential ways that we can be impacted by the work we do, without adequate support.

No amount of self care - aside from leaving the position - would have improved the wellbeing of my colleague.

We know that healthcare systems and services are overwhelmed in trying to meet the demand for support and level of need out there; and that many people and organisations are working to solve the significant systemic issues that exist in healthcare.

In the meantime, individuals are suffering: both those accessing services and those delivering them.

What can we do?

Join me for a free one hour masterclass where we will explore how we can create a new paradigm in helping work to discover:

• The five keys to why your self care plan isn’t working (no, it’s not you).
• The importance of the understanding the vicarious impacts through the lens of 'Joy – Pain Spectrum'.
• 4 steps to getting out of your head and into your body, and why this is important.
• How using creative arts and music processes can support your wellbeing (you don't have to 'perform' or be skilled in any way!).
• Practical ways that we can go beneath thinking, planning and the never-ending to-do list, to discover a new paradigm in wellbeing healthcare.
• The importance of collective ethics, accountability and a nurturing community for best outcomes for the people that you serve and your ability to thrive in a sustainable career.

Your COMPLIMENTARY pass includes:
