Resilience and self-care for aid workers

The training course “Veerkracht en zelfzorg voor hulpverleners” focuses on professionals who work daily with people in vulnerable situations and who want to consciously invest in their own well-being. Participants examine which factors influence their resilience, such as personal convictions, qualities, and pitfalls connected to their role as a care provider. In addition, attention is paid to the broader context in which care providers function, such as the behavior and expectations of clients, the organizational culture, and societal pressure. Through different perspectives and practical exercises, participants are provided with tools to better take care of themselves and maintain their professional capacity. The training course helps care providers to make more conscious choices, set boundaries, deal with difficult conversations and challenging situations, and continue their work with more balance and resilience.
