Implemented a Twelve Weeks "Staff Wellness Program" at Aas Trust
The objective of this 12 weeks Wellness Program is to equip addiction professionals working with people (i.e., children, women, and adults) with substance use disorder. We know that they are at the front and are directly involved in delivering services for patients and their families. However, we have noticed that these professionals need professional development programs so that they can equip themselves with the relevant skills to deal with diverse groups of clients. They have burnout issues, have experienced trauma related problems which leads towards compassion fatigue. This wellness program is designed to help them to reduce their emotional and behavioural issues, stress related problems, anger management, improving team building, basic clinical skills, and in improving their well-being and quality of life.
