The Real Dangers of NHS Staff Not Asking for Help: Saving Clinician Lives
To highlight World Suicide Prevention Day, The Bravest Path, a leading provider of leadership development, mental health and wellbeing resources, is thrilled to announce a free webinar aimed at supporting National Health Service (NHS) professionals to empower and equip NHS staff with practical tools to enhance their mental health and overall wellbeing.
The Bravest Path's free webinar covers topics specifically tailored to address the unique stressors encountered by healthcare professionals, including raising awareness around the complexities of shame and silence, and how by fostering vulnerability, we can create workplaces where people can have the confidence to have braver conversations, ask for help, and let go of what others might think.
Shame, the painful emotion of not being good "enough", plays a significant role in preventing individuals from seeking help and having difficult conversations. These feelings can be powerful barriers, preventing us from reaching out for support or expressing our struggles to colleagues and supervisors. Fear of rejection, judgment, or inadequacy can stop us from expressing ourselves honestly. Creating a psychologically safe and empathetic environment in the workplace is crucial in making all the difference in overcoming these fears.
“With the recent alarming statistic of more than 220 nurses across the UK attempting to end their lives, and a survey of clinicians participating in our programmes highlighting how much the fear of being judged by others holds them back, we developed this free webinar so that more could benefit from these practical tools that can be implemented as quickly as their next shift.” Said Bethan Davies, MD of The Bravest Path.
"We have experienced first-hand amazing care from the NHS who supported us when we were at our most fragile and wanted to offer something back to those who helped us. We work throughout the NHS, running development programmes which help clinicians gain much needed self-compassion, resilience and courage skills, resulting in higher engagement, retention and better patient outcomes.”
“Through this free webinar we aim to provide valuable resources and support to those who have been tirelessly serving our communities. Our goal is to empower them with tools and techniques that will enhance their wellbeing, deepen awareness of vulnerability as courage, and promote self-compassion.”
The webinar will be conducted by esteemed facilitators who specialize in working with healthcare professionals. The session will provide a safe and interactive environment for participants to gain insights, share experiences, and learn practical strategies to implement immediately.
The Bravest Path invites all NHS professionals to take advantage of this valuable opportunity for personal and professional growth. Participants will have the chance to engage with experts, ask questions, and connect with a community of like-minded individuals who understand the unique demands of the healthcare industry.
