COVER STORY: Thinking creatively to improve health and wellbeing

Head of brand and marketing Cheryl Jones explains how CareHomeLife is supporting care sector workers to be their very best selves.

It is widely recognised how rewarding working in the care profession can be. In stark contrast, and probably less well recognised, is just how challenging it can be. Constant exposure to illness, death, and human suffering can, and does, take its toll on a person’s mental and physical health and bouncebackability. Stress and burnout are real issues throughout the industry, so it is likely there will be people working within your care home right now who are struggling

It is important for someone to know they have support at work when they need it. Not just from their line manager, but also from their colleagues. To feel heard, seen, and understood. Like they belong.

Being part of something, be that a family, a community, or a religion, gives life a purpose and connection that is beneficial to our life satisfaction and happiness.
