Staff Wellness
Charis Psychological Services works with organisations as well as individuals. Our staff wellness programme options are built for teams, departments and organisations who want structured psychological support in place, rather than responding only once a crisis has already happened.
What Does A Staff Wellness Programme Involve?
A staff wellness programme is shaped around the needs of a specific workplace. Depending on what is required, this may include:
- Facilitated support sessions for teams
- Debriefing sessions following a critical incident
- Psychoeducation groups on topics such as stress and burnout
- Ongoing consultation with management or HR on staff wellbeing
What Are The Two Types Of Corporate Support We Offer?
Corporate support generally falls into one of two categories. Staff wellness and emotional wellbeing groups offer ongoing, structured support for teams, often on topics such as stress and burnout. Crisis intervention and debriefing respond to a specific incident, giving a team space to process what happened soon after it occurs. Both are facilitated by a psychologist and shaped around what the workplace actually needs.
Why Do Organisations Use Staff Wellness Support?
Workplaces in high-pressure environments, particularly within healthcare, see real value in having psychological support built into how they operate. Debriefing after a difficult incident, regular check-ins, and structured psychoeducation can help prevent smaller difficulties from developing into more serious ones. This service is available to organisations across Johannesburg and the wider Gauteng area.
How Is Confidentiality Handled In A Group Setting?
Group members agree to a set of ground rules at the outset, including confidentiality expectations, so that everyone understands what is expected before sharing begins. The facilitating psychologist is responsible for holding this structure throughout.
How Is A Programme Set Up?
We generally begin with a conversation about what a workplace or team needs, before proposing a structure, whether that is a single debriefing session, a recurring group, or a broader wellness programme rolled out over time.
