Supporting nurses. Strengthening mental health. Improving patient care.

Starting with your own well-being and expanding into key patient-focused topics, this free series will help you build resilience, confidence, and impact in your daily practice.

1. Supporting Nurses’ Mental Health at Work
Date: 12th May 2026, 19:30 GMT
MC: Julie Dixon
Speakers: Rachel Allen-Ashcroft & Daniela Collins
Overview of Session: Nurses spend their careers supporting others, but often have limited time and space to focus on their own mental health.
This will be an engaging session on how to support the mental health and wellbeing of Nursing staff working both in the Mental Care space and the wider nursing community. We will be covering ways of building self-resilience, handling stigma & coping mechanisms, along with looking at the moral destresses that exist for our Nursing colleagues.

Overview of Session: The population of the world is ageing, and with that comes a significant risk of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. The WHO has recently launched the 'Decade of healthy ageing (2021-2030)', and in our session we will explore risk factors, including loneliness and isolation, as well as strategies to prevent and promote mental well- being. We will consider the implications for mental health services, as well as reflecting on what this means for the wider community.
