Wellbeing, Resilience & Reflection: A support webinar for all Vale of Glamorgan Council staff

Delivered by Dr Coral Harper, Trauma Informed Schools, Director of Training in Wales

This 50 minute webinar recording is aimed as a guide for staff to start to reflect, process and recover from their own experiences over the last 18 months and cope with the ongoing uncertainties and losses related to the pandemic.

In this webinar we will look at understanding the impact of the pandemic for you. Have you paused to really consider the enormity of this crisis? The restrictions, losses, rules and criminalisation of social behaviours?

The struggle with the rhetoric of ‘We are all in this together’ as all of us struggle individually to make sense, navigate and carve our own way through? Have you taken time to talk, reflect, process and digest the experiences that have been at times wholly indigestible?

To appreciate and look back on what you have achieved, how well you have not just survived, but supported others through this experience.

In this webinar would also like to encourage you to celebrate and recognise the changes and adaptations as we move to what for now, seems an unlocking, a lifting, a new horizon of hopefulness as we come out of restrictions.

And finally, some tips for recovery – what we can do to help ourselves and each other. Building a protective self care plan and identifying some simple actions that can improve our emotional wellbeing.

If this webinar is viewed individually, we recommend discussing the content with colleagues or managers to help with collective support. Or it can be viewed as a staff group to facilitate collective support, discussion and reflection. If further support is needed there are support services available.

The Wellbeing, Resilience and Reflection Webinar is available to all staff until 31 December 2022.

You can access the webinar at whatever time is best for you, either during or outside of work. You’ll need to use the Vale of Glamorgan Council access code: 58C37846HB
