Summary
Working to support the wellbeing of others can be immensely rewarding, and a real motivator for why we work in the health sector. But over time, exposure to the suffering of others - particularly those in mental distress and at the risk of suicide - can impact our own wellbeing and how we feel, including experiencing vicarious trauma. In 2025, NHS Sussex developed training that looks at the different ways we can keep ourselves and our colleagues safe. The training provides an overview of vicarious trauma and is made up of three complimentary sections, looking at different aspects of personal resilience, workplace wellbeing and reflective practice. In this session, Liz Tucker and Eleanor Leigh discuss the importance of building a daily resilience practice. They provide clear and effective tools that you can use at any point during your working day - whether working in-person or remote - to help improve your overall wellbeing.
