On 17 June 2020 at 18.00 CET, CoCreate Humanity will organise its first Humani-Topic event. The event will be an online gathering, a bit of a cross between a webinar and a workshop, and be dedicated to the theme of Self-Help for Helpers. We will have the pleasure to welcome Martine Bourquin, an experienced humanitarian, nurse and psychological emergency supporter.
THE WEBINAR
During this short review we will approach the common reactions we have in the field, when persons are suffering much more than we do. We will try to find out what we gain and /or what we loose when we do not take care of ourselves. What are the consequences on us, our beloved, our jobs, our future, our teams, the persons we are supposed to care for?
What does every human being need ?
Which are the indispensable components of a successful management of our own “little” lives while in the field ?
How can I resist, endure, keep being performant in the middle of the chaos?
How much can I swallow before it is too late?
Which are the signs? And do I see them? Or not at all? Or do I ignore them, and why?
