To help others effectively, we need to have enough ‘spare capacity’, which means looking after our own wellbeing too – new research shows us how… Why you should take this course When our day-to-day jobs involve continually listening to other people’s emotional difficulties, how do we avoid being overwhelmed by them ourselves or succumbing to compassion fatigue? We are the ‘tool’ of our trade. It could be argued that we have a duty to those we work with to prioritise our own mental health and wellbeing so that we can give them the best possible service. This live online training events shows you how. ‘Burnout’ is commonly defined as a physical and emotional state caused by excessive or overwhelming workplace stress. This is often specifically related to work but of course feelings of burnout can be impacted or compounded by other life events and caring roles too. Even if we know good stress management techniques, this often isn’t enough. Burnout is a very common phenomena in the ‘helping professions’, A 2018 research review paper published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology analysed 30 years of research on this topic, involving 9,000 psychotherapists. Over half of the therapists they sampled reported “moderate-high levels of stress and burnout”. The good news is that burnout, overwhelm and empathy fatigue are not a given of working in roles where we are consistently exposed to others’ emotional pain. New research and insights into ‘buffering’ the impact of this work mean that we can consciously choose to put in safeguards to our own mental wellbeing, whilst also remaining connected and present with our clients. Emily Gajewski’s online course draws on her extensive experience of working as a therapist and clinical supervisor, in the NHS and privately, for over 20 years. Throughout the day she examines the many ways working in the caring professions can impact us personally and gives you a wealth of practical steps you can take to mitigate them. She also covers the most up-to-date guidance on keeping ourselves well and thriving in caring roles and will help you develop a realistic plan for your own continuing wellbeing.

A 3 month programme to reduce overwhelm and increase your energy I believe that Yoga Nidra is one of the best meditations for neurodivergent parents. When you're navigating your own unique experiences such as sensory sensitivities, the demands of parenting, and adapting to everyday situations you can end up feeling drained and overwhelmed. Yoga Nidra is a deeply restorative meditation that help you release mental, emotional, and physical stress and tension that you are carrying. It is said that 30 minutes of Yoga Nidra meditation is equivalent to 2-4 hours of sleep! Yoga Nidra or ‘yogic sleep’ is a form of guided meditation practiced lying down. It is a deeply restorative practice that can help you relax, recharge your energy, and improve your sleep. The practice guides you through specific techniques to help you feel rested and refreshed. Meditation can help with parenting too! Yoga Nidra meditation helps you feel more relaxed and provides a quiet space for you to simply be. That means you can feel more patient, as you won't be carrying as much stress, while going through the ups and downs of parenthood. And create a calmer mental space which will allow you to look after your own needs and continue supporting your whole family. With refreshed energy! That's why I created this Deep Rest programme to help you balance your energy! What's Included? Month 1 First live call with Yoga Nidra and reflection. I'll explain the workbook and talk through the reflective activities for Month 1. We'll create a practical plan together of how you can integrate Yoga Nidra into your life. You'll receive a Yoga Nidra audio meditation to listen to between sessions. I'll check-in with you on Friday’s (via Telegram messaging - free app) to see how you've been getting on that week and how you've found the practices. Month 2 Second live call with Yoga Nidra meditation and reflection. We'll review Month 1 and discuss if there's anything that you would like adjusted for your practice. You'll have space to ask any questions that you may have. I'll share more about the activities for you to practice in your workbook for this month. Continue Friday check-ins so you're able to stay encouraged and motivated to practice self-care. Month 3 Final live call with Yoga Nidra meditation with a review of Month 2 and acknowledging your progress. Reflection activities inside your workbook You'll be supported to create a long-term self-care plan so you're able to manage stress while parenting and in everyday life. We'll discuss how you can continue using Yoga Nidra beyond the programme, because you deserve to continue having rest. Final Friday check-ins - you'll receive continued messaging support each week and we'll celebrate your overall journey on the last Friday of the month. If you're looking to feel more moments of calm while neurodivergent parenting or caregiving … That's exactly what I'm hear for! This is for you if... You’re a neurodivergent parent or caregiver who feels exhausted by stress and the demands of parenting/caregiving. You’re looking for a for a private meditation experience. You’re ready to explore the transformative practice of Yoga Nidra. This is not for you if: You prefer a group setting. You’re looking for a single session, rather than a sustained, supportive journey of self-care. You’re not able to dedicate time to a deep, personal Yoga Nidra experience paired with ongoing support for lasting impact. Are you ready to increase your energy and create a calmer mind? I'm ready when you are. *Available for wherever you are in the world, except the USA and Canada, due to my insurance.

Dermatology focused days have been offered by BBO Training since 2017; we are delighted to be work together with Dermatology Education Partnership Ltd as training providers. The Dermatology Update for Primary Care is particularly relevant for GPs and primary care nurses (and pharmacists) who wish to update knowledge on dermatology care, including evidence-based practice and guidance. You will see the programme moves you through from knowledge and guidance/guidelines updates to patient and practical aspects to then seeing how you can incorporate this knowledge into practice at a local level. The new skills you will learn will enhance patient care and may reduce secondary care referrals. The importance of dermatology care and promotion of skin health is essential in general practice. The Primary Care Dermatology Society states that 10-15% of the primary care workload involves dermatology and that many common skin conditions are managed entirely within the practice setting. This workload continues to increase as on-going changes in funding and the NHS structure move more patient care into the community. Chronic skin conditions have a psychological impact on life and healthy living. Supporting and helping patients with self-management is often the key to treatment success. The Dermatology Update for Primary Care programme is attached together with tear off application slip, which should be returned to me at the above address. The day will be led by Julie Van Onselen, a dermatology adviser, trainer and educator who has 25 years experience as a dermatology nurse practitioner. Frankie Brown will be organising and facilitating the day.
