Beyond Burnout - A Conversation About Well-Being and Culture Change in the Humanitarian Sector
Join Dimple Dhabalia, award-winning author of Tell Me My Story--Challenging the Narrative of Service Before Self, and Gemma Houldey, author of The Vulnerable Humanitarian--Ending Burnout Culture in the Aid Sector, for an evening of conversation and connection as we talk about the future of staff well-being in the humanitarian sector. As the world faces unprecedented crises and long-standing challenges, aid workers are bearing the brunt of compounding stress, burnout, vicarious trauma, and moral injury. This discussion will invite those gathered to challenge outdated narratives about well-being in the workplace and explore the extent to which post COVID discussions about staff mental health and well-being have shifted the culture in humanitarian spaces, and where there are still gaps that need to be addressed. Whether you’re an individual navigating these pressures or an organizational leader seeking sustainable ways to support your teams, this conversation will delve into practical, transformative strategies for building a healthier, more resilient humanitarian workforce and provide an opportunity to gather in community with others facing similar challenges.
Dimple and Gemma will also be signing copies of their books after the talk for anyone who is interested.
