A podcast series originally created by Clare Desira + Pro Bono Australia

One of the biggest concerns for leaders in the sector right now is the wellbeing of their own teams. It’s a significant emerging issue. This podcast is dedicated to improving the mindset, resilience and mental health of people working in the social sector.
In our first season we speak to sector leaders about the impact COVID-19 is having on their staff – the pressure of changing service delivery, the challenges of delivering on the front line during a pandemic, the financial uncertainty in the face of growing demand, and the mental health challenges of balancing all of this with other challenges, like home schooling.
We focus on how leaders are supporting their staff through this time, but also where they are finding their own support, what tools they are turning to and what other leaders can learn from their experience.
We’ll leave you feeling hopeful and re-energised with ideas on how you can tackle these challenges and support your teams in new ways.
