Goal Setting   

Goal setting is a wonderful way to increase motivation, focus, purpose and helps measure progress. It can help staff learn how to manage their time effectively, prioritize and feel a sense of achievement once completed, helping them to feel more on top of things and a sense of success.  

 

Journaling Tool  

Having a journal is a wonderful way to relieve stress, inspire creativity and allow yourself to recompose.  By writing your thoughts down, you gain a deeper understanding of your challenges. Problems, fears, and concerns come to the surface so you can start to address them and visualise solutions.  

 

Self-Assessments  

Clinically established self-assessments can help staff understand how they are feeling, pinpoint concerns and help navigate to other resources for support. Find out more about self-assessments that can be taken via Togetherall here:

The community: 

The online, anonymous peer-support community provides a safe space to share experiences with people that could be experiencing the same as you, a place to feel understood, share advice and offload with our health care professionals at hand for support 24/7. 

Anonymity takes away any fear of being known by others.  Although signing up with an academic email address, all interactions are anonymous and Togetherall will only seek identifying information from a member when we are concerned about their safety.
