CPD – equipped4wellbeing
Staff Development specifically designed for
equipped4wellbeing has been developed from work in diverse communities and with community support services, initially in Nottingham. It recognises the needs and challenges of our diverse communities, and the need for staff teams to improve their capacity to maintain their resilience and wellbeing for their own benefit and to serve our communities better. It is a different sort of CPD training; focused on actively developing the capabilities of staff, working hard to support the wellbeing of clients and maintain their own wellbeing. The practical, improvement focused sessions are underpinned by experience and research.
