Dear Derian House Colleagues,

 

I am mindful that we have all been through a challenging 24 months where our normal world was turn upside down as we see the world opening up we are all still mindful that COVID is still around.

 

Alongside pandemic we now have the dreadful events in Ukraine with images in the press and on TV and the concerns about where this will lead. Another impact of this situation is the demands on the cost of living and managing with the ever changing prices and demands.

 

I have discussed these challenges with Lynn, the Senior Management Team and, working with Dawn, next week we will be starting weekly Wellbeing Sessions hosted by our Family Counsellors Fazila and John. These will not be counselling sessions but an opportunity for colleagues from across Derian to come together and share their concerns, issues and generally chat. John and Fazila will be sharing their expertise in areas such as personal coping methods and they will be sending an email shortly to share a little more information.

 

We plan hold these weekly in the Seaside Room from the 24^th March until the end of May when we will see how it is going.

 

As I said, Fazila and John will send an email soon to confirm everything and I hope you will find this supportive and beneficial.

 

Many thanks

David
