Resources for Champions
We have recently published guidance on what it means to be a Champion. This takes the form of a framework, which describes the range of activities that Champions can do to support our objectives for the network: to increase awareness of, to advocate for, to practice in our day-to-day roles, and to be a local leader for mind and body care.
Increase your and your team’s awareness of mind and body
Complete the Mind & Body e-learning, and use the posters and videos Resource Pack below to build awareness of mind and body within your team, and follow us on Twitter.
Advocate for mind and body care
Promote the Mind & Body Programme and the Champions Network to your team, particularly by filling in and using this presentation template, encouraging colleagues to think more about mind and body care, and possibly also signing up as Champions.
Practice good mind and body care in your day-to-day role
Get involved in opportunities that are offered by the Mind & Body team such as Champions events, focus groups and IMPARTS seminars, and make the most of our education and training offer.
Be a local leader for mind and body care
Get in touch with us at mindandbody@slam.nhs.uk to discuss ways you can lead, whether it’s working with us to identify and respond to barriers to mind and body care, kicking off a service improvement project, or by writing a blog on your experiences of mind and body.
