Wellbeing and mental health awareness training for QiS Educators

We understand that many of you are feeling the weight of stress and distress in your work, with turnover, retention issues, and sickness absence continuing to pose significant challenges. We also know that simply acknowledging these pressures isn’t enough; we need to take action to support one another. 

Evidence shows that when staff are given the tools to focus on their own wellbeing and are equipped to face these challenges proactively, it can make a real difference. What’s more, the best support often comes from within your own team, rather than from external sources. With this in mind, we’re here to help you build the skills needed to support yourselves and each other.

Incorporated in the session is the REACT model, which stands for: Recognise, Engage, Actively Listen, Check Risk, and Talk about Specific Actions. The REACT technique is a well-established staff support model, specifically designed around the requirements in busy and challenging environments such as critical care. It involves conversations with staff about their needs and empowering & supporting staff to problem solve. You will have access to the REACT materials and can cascade the training in your units.
