FRONTLINE WORKER WELLBEING SUPPORT
During the course of the last ten years, a series of studies have noted the increased stresses on frontline workers involved in caring, healthcare or mental health work. Increases in burnout, higher prevalence of stress/anxiety or the specific pressures involved in giving out to others have all been identified (NHS/Mental Health Foundation.)
During the pandemic we worked hard to support key workers and then in 2023/24 we worked with Voluntary Action Sheffield and Compassionate Sheffield to run a series of free-to-access wellbeing activities and support. This project has ended but we still have free to access support which may help you.
You can find details of what’s going on in our events section ( or click on these upcoming events below)
One other element we want to explore to offer one-to-one support. 71% of you saw this as a crucial service to offer. This one-to-one offer is informal but our plan is to be able to offer help either through a one-off wellbeing session or through a series of coaching or counselling sessions. If this would be something that would help you or a colleague, you/they can complete an expression of interest below at the end of this article.
THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE ICB HEALTH AND WELLBEING HUB
We also wanted to publicise the Health and Wellbeing Hub, enabled by the ICB but with services which are available to anyone working in the Voluntary Sector. Check out the page by using the button below or clicking on the image. These pages include resources, advice, webinar recordings and also advertise a 24 hour helpline - 0330 380 0658 - which you can access.
