This limited edition four part series focuses on wellbeing for people working in stressful and emotionally demanding roles.
In this fourth episode we explore how we can look after ourselves when work is more than just a job, how we can create better boundaries, and why our passion and lived experiences can both drive us, but also leave us mope open to things like stress, burnout or vicarious trauma.
Our host Janet Watson, meets with Danielle Rowley from Samaritans Scotland and Jenny Smith from Public Health Scotland who share their own experiences and what helps them as they navigate their demanding roles.
