Help Bombani Shelter for Abused Women and Children with 5 volunteers for Staff debriefing sessions
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We would like to kindly request the facilitation of face-to-face staff debriefing sessions for the team at Bombani Shelter. As caregivers working closely with survivors of gender-based violence, our team is continuously exposed to emotionally intense and often traumatic experiences. Without adequate emotional support and opportunities to process these experiences, this can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and a decline in the quality of care provided. Debriefing sessions are essential for maintaining the mental health and emotional resilience of our staff. They would offer a safe and supportive environment to reflect, release stress, and build team cohesion. To ensure that these sessions are truly effective and inclusive, we ask that they be made accessible to all staff members—including those who are more comfortable expressing themselves in indigenous languages such as Sotho and Zulu.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
