Looking after yourself and supporting others in the workplace

The cost-of-living crisis, the pandemic, spending cuts and welfare cuts are impacting your frontline workers and the communities they serve.

Calls are increasing, conversations are becoming more challenging and customers are more likely to be experiencing poor mental health or vulnerability.

As a result, even the most committed and experienced frontline worker can become physically and emotionally affected by this kind of pressure, leading to anxiety, stress, depression, and burnout.

This Comprehensive training course has been designed to equip you with the tools, techniques, and approach to deal effectively with challenging behaviour, whilst highlighting the importance of looking after your own health and wellbeing.  The course will go on to explore how you can best help the people around you.
