Ready. Respond. Recover: Looking after yourself when uncertainty is part of the job

Emergency management professionals are no strangers to uncertainty. From responding to incidents to navigating constant change, working under pressure is part of the role. But while we spend a lot of time preparing for emergencies, we spend far less time preparing ourselves for the psychological demands that come with them.

Join Psychologist Laura McAlpine, for a practical 45-minute Lunch & Learn exploring how we can maintain wellbeing and performance before, during and after periods of sustained demand.

In this evidence-based session, Laura will introduce the Ready. Respond. Recover framework; a practical approach to understanding how uncertainty impacts our thinking, decision-making and energy, along with simple strategies you can use to stay effective when the pressure is on.

Laura works with leaders and organisations to build sustainable performance through evidence-based wellbeing. She has a particular interest in helping people thrive in complex, high-demand environments and has been working alongside emergency management professionals to better understand the unique challenges of the sector.

Whether you're new to emergency management or have years of experience, you'll leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately, and perhaps a different way of thinking about wellbeing in your work.
