Description
Staff Support Groups in the Helping Professions: A Guide to Foster Emotional Resilience and Reflective Practice. The National Health Service faces significant costs due to staff burnout and work-related stress among mental health professionals. Staff support groups can play a valuable role in promoting emotional resilience, managing conflict, and supporting reflective practice. This book explores the principles, practice, and pitfalls of setting up and running such groups, drawing on recent Department of Health initiatives. Contributors share their experiences facilitating support groups in various settings, including psychiatric wards, therapeutic communities, social services, schools, and children's homes. The book provides a wealth of case material to guide professionals who are attending, managing, or establishing staff support groups. With careful preparation and skilful management, staff support groups can benefit not only the individual but also the department as a whole and those being cared for. This book offers much-needed guidance for mental health professionals seeking to establish or improve their staff support groups.
