Abstract

Care, by itself, brings thoughts of warmth, compassion, and doing right by the people who need your help. As an employment Sector, it sees life or death stakes placed on a chronically undervalued staff, working under stringent budgets in high pressure working environments.
What, then, can we learn from the fields of trauma research and community support in caring for those carers?
Dr Dianne Wepa of Charles Darwin University joins us again with colleagues Professor Mary Steen from the University of Northumbria and Dr Lisa Di Lemma from Liverpool Hope University to talk about self care and self compassion as tools for improving public health.
As a note, this episode includes discussions of workplace bullying and medical trauma. Listener discretion is advised.
