About this course: Equip yourself and/or your team with knowledge and tools essential for maintaining emotional wellbeing in research on emotionally challenging topics (eg death, illness, war, crime, extreme poverty). The workshop introduces a practical toolkit, providing resources and guidance to support researchers, supervisors and organisations in managing the emotional aspects of their work and progressing towards a strategic approach to researcher wellbeing and emotionally challenging topics. It is structured into three parts. The first part of the webinar will explore the impacts of emotionally challenging research, presenting our findings on the symptoms experienced by researchers. The second part will focus on coping mechanisms and interventions and will give you an opportunity to start using our resources and write your own Researcher Wellbeing Plan. The third part introduces a set of tiered recommendations for institutional support, categorised into Bronze, Silver, and Gold standards, offering a phased approach to their implementation. We will then discuss where your institution fits in relation to these standards, and we will explore further one of the resources, the guidance on risk assessment and mental health.
