Supporting Colleagues in Distress – Free Course

Worried about supporting colleagues in distress? Learn how to check in with care. Our free Supporting Colleagues in Distress course takes about an hour, and comes with a free certificate. You'll learn the difference between distress, stress and burnout, how to recognise when a colleague may be struggling, how to have a supportive conversation, where to signpost and what support is available, how to keep boundaries, the limits of confidentiality, and when to escalate, and how to build a supportive workplace culture. Drag the right words into place to offer early, respectful support, notice the changes that may suggest someone is struggling, and choose the right time and place to talk. It's ideal for health and social care workers, team leaders and registered managers, and any staff who want to support colleagues with confidence. It's free for individuals, and organisations can assign courses to their teams and track progress, at no cost.
