In the fourth in a series of focus articles, The Pulse continues to look at supports available for care home staff across Lanarkshire.
While community, primary and acute teams have been a key focus of our messaging, local authority, the independent sector and NHS care homes are a vital audience – and part or our wider partnership – too.
In this downloadable newsflash, today we focus on developing self-compassion. To care well for others we also need to care well for ourselves.
Consider for a moment how we all accept the instruction before a flight to put on our own oxygen mask, before we help someone else with theirs. Self-care and self-compassion are based on the same principle.
Our latest update provides tips and further reading on how to best look out for yourself.
This update follows a recent Q&A which outlines the work of the multi-agency Lanarkshire wellbeing group.
The final edition in this series will feature care home staff sharing examples of things that have made a difference and got them through.
Please get in touch if you would like to share examples from your care home with your colleagues.
