Collective care/ burnout

I’m looking for some kind of collective care process for people working on regularly distressing areas such as the genocide in Palestine (but also potentially far right extremism in the UK, war or conflicts around the world, the hostile environment, climate breakdown). Ideally something which builds care into the culture of the organisation so it’s not on individuals to seek one-one help if they burn out - what could this look like in meetings, managing workload, creating regular moments for collective check-ins, designing objectives that might not all be work-driven?

My organisation is relatively big but the department which works on peace and climate justice (which I’m in) is around 15-20 people and we have some scope to build our own processes.

Thanks!

Hi Rebecca, have you thought about some ongoing and regular form of group reflective practice? I wouldn’t make it compulsory but for people to choose to participate if they feel that they might benefit. I’m happy to talk to you about what we are doing in our organisation?
