Mini-course: Embedding better team wellbeing
We're excited to announce a new course for migrant organisations who are keen to improve staff wellbeing.
Your commitment
We have 8 spaces for this pilot mini-course. You must be able to commit to joining three 2-hour workshops on Zoom between September and November.
What you’ll do on this course
You’ll be introduced to the BeWell Wellbeing Toolkit. You’ll adapt this toolkit to meet the needs of your team. You’ll then prepare to run a wellbeing workshop with your team and be provided with the tools to start developing a staff wellbeing policy.
Who this course is for
Small to medium charities and CICs who know they need to improve staff wellbeing but haven’t had the time or known where to start. This course has been designed in response to the Wellbeing Discovery Report, where we learned people need time and space to have open, honest conversations with staff about wellbeing. We will prioritise applications from organisations led by people with lived experience of forced migration as well as existing Explore Adapt Renew core partners.
