This online workshop is part of the Resilient Communities 2021 conference series.

Volunteers have been involved throughout every aspect of the response to the pandemic, as well as many other serious disruptive situations, and may have been exposed to distressing and traumatic incidents, which can be both emotionally and physically challenging.

This workshop is for those in voluntary and community sector organisations who have been involved in emergency response situations and where volunteers or employees may benefit from understanding the support on health and well-being which is available to them.

The Lifelines Scotland project exists to boost the resilience of the volunteer responder community and to support them in staying well, supporting each other and seeking help when needed. SG’s Resilient Communities Team is pleased to host Lifelines Scotland colleagues in delivering an informative and interactive workshop, which will:

• Explore what protects you in your work or volunteering role

• Demonstrate how you can stay well, cope with stress and boost your resilience.

• Explain where you can access advice should you or your family need more help.

Delegates are asked to complete the 30 minute online Staying Well Road Trip module before attending this workshop
