When teams normalize rest, care becomes culture. 🧘🏻‍♂️

Whether it’s a delayed reply, a shared pause, or a supervisor modeling time off — those moments matter. They say, “you don’t have to earn your rest.”

💬 What’s one small way your team could build more rest into the everyday?

In many care-based professions, exhaustion is worn like a badge.
But if we only stop when we break down, that’s not rest— it’s recovery. 🚨

Burnout isn’t just an individual issue. It’s often upheld by workplace cultures that celebrate overextension and stigmatize rest.
Imagine if rest was part of your job description — not a side note. 💭🧘🏻‍♂️

Whether it’s something going on in your personal life, or just your own response to changes and events in the world — there are times when someone you’re supporting is feeling something that resonates closely with your own experience.

As a humanitarian, that can be a strange place to be. You’re there to hold space for others — but what if their grief, frustration, or uncertainty mirrors something you’ve been sitting with too?

💡 This post shares a few gentle reflections for those moments. Ways to stay present and grounded, while still caring for yourself.

What’s helped you navigate situations like these before?

🌸 Let yourself laugh, nap, or disconnect
💛 Be reminded that you matter, too

Humanitarian workers often face unique stressors, including exposure to traumatic events and high-pressure environments, which lead to risks of burnout, anxiety, and depression.

If you are leading a team of humanitarian workers in high-stress environments, here's how you can support your team 🪷

- Lead by example - take breaks, set boundaries, and manage workload realistically (even in times when you might face staff shortages)
- Train staff to recognize signs of burnout and offer immediate support
- Normalize discussions around stress and mental health without stigma and encourage open conversations
- Equip your team with tools like breathwork, meditation, or reflective check-ins
- Advocate for counseling, peer support, or debriefing sessions after tough missions
- Continuously educate yourself as a leader to relate more with your team and learn the ins and outs of humanitarian work psychology

As a humanitarian, working in challenging field conditions is a profound emotional journey.

Remember, the stress you experience is not a sign of weakness, but your body's incredible survival mechanism.

After a long, tough day - give yourself permission to decompress: enjoy a comfort meal, talk to a loved one, take a long shower, listen to music, or simply breathe. Your mental health is just as important as the critical work you do in supporting communities around the world.
