Churches of Christ in conjunction with Voyage Fitness hosted the first of many “Staff Well-being Sessions” at the Warwick campus Auditorium on Saturday. Healthcare workers from the local community were also invited to attend.
These sessions are designed to provide a safe space for staff to come and relax, unwind, loosen up a little, have a bit of fun, meet new people and take the time to do something to benefit their health.
General Manager of Churches of Christ Seniors Living, Judene Creedy attended the class. “It was a very enjoyable morning with excellent company and amazing cheesecake from One Table Cafe. Our thanks must go to Campus Manager Noo Shepherd and the yoga instructor Vivienne from voyage. Our health professionals’ well-being and good health is important to CofC and we hope that everyone enjoyed the morning. The CofC Warwick Campus would like to host further wellness events on a regular basis for the wider community also.” Judene said.
The Australian Government Department of Health states that the Covid-19 pandemic is putting significant psychological pressure on health workers. And unprecedented demand on their time and skills can make it hard to take time off. Feeling under pressure is normal in the current situation. But these compounding pressures can lead to more serious anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and burnout.
