Summary:
"This book looks at 16 wellbeing strategies used in the healthcare, education, business and many other sectors due to the 'duty of care' philosophy. There are over 180 exercises and activities for the individual to dip your toes in and find the ones that work for you. As with other books in the series, this book has been divided into sections, with section three designed for groups, if you wish to get together with colleagues and friends for a more in-depth wellbeing session. All these strategies have been practiced on Student Nurses, Nursing Associates, Registered Nurses and Midwives and other healthcare staff and been adapted for optimum enjoyment. Please be aware, if you feel overwhelmed with stress, please see a professional, sooner rather than later"-- Provided by publisher.
