Investing in health and wellbeing for individuals and teams
Sexual Assault and harassment is increasingly recognised as a risk to men and women working internationally within the sector.
This course aims to help your organisation respond appropriately in the event of sexual assaults. You will be provided with the opportunity to reflect on your current organisational policies and practice, from a medical and psychological perspective.
We will be focusing on the needs of the individual in the first seven days after an assault and how you can respond effectively.
We are pleased to present our new booklet for field workers and line managers, providing clear guidance on how to support and respond to the immediate needs of a colleague who has been sexually assaulted.
Sexual Assault Kits are also available through our online shop and can be purchased after a travel health consultation with one of our nurses.
This day will include presentations but also several elements where participants will be asked to participate in group learning from their experience (if any) of supporting survivors of assault. Participants with lots of experience as well as none are welcome - our aim is to all come away striving to support survivors better.

InterHealth and the Transforming Surge Capacity Project are currently working together to explore the use of mindfulness in the sector, and to support the research being conducted.
As such, we are offering a series of half-day ‘Introduction to Mindfulness’ sessions to agencies and staff interested in exploring mindfulness-based approaches to reducing stress and increasing wellbeing.
These taster sessions will be experiential in practice, and introduce the basics of mindfulness, allowing agencies and participants to explore what mindfulness is, and how it may be incorporated within our organisations. It is essentially a prelude for individuals potentially undertaking further training, such as a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction training, or for agencies considering using mindfulness within their organisations.
Each session will cover:
The practices introduced in the session will include:
In addition, handouts and guided audio sessions for further home practice will be provided.
