Supporting our staff

Working with very sick children can be stressful and upsetting for healthcare staff. Many chaplains and other spiritual care professionals provide support to their colleagues going through a difficult time.

Our team at the Centre for Paediatric Spiritual Care run retreat days for colleagues that allow them to get away from their day-to-day stresses and learn techniques for coping with difficult situations.

We have collected a list of resources to support staff with their wellbeing at work:
