Duty of self care

In this session we discussed the role of serving the public, the impact of the job on your mental health, how to look after yourself and how to avoid burn-out.

Using the Fortis self care wheel you will learn how to explore your own levels of self care, receiving tips that you can apply to yourself and to others.

 

The masks we wear

This session looks at how we present ourselves, how we respond to others, what we show and what we keep hidden and will discuss the reasons why.

It investigates our perception of others, how this can get in the way and how we can all understand and manage the masks we wear better.
