Table 1 Three agendas in caring for staff
The wellbeing agenda | Assisting people to thrive at home, in work or at school. Wellbeing is about feeling good and functioning well and is influenced by each person’s experience of life |
The psychosocial agenda | Supporting people who are struggling. Psychosocial care describes interventions for people who are distressed or struggling or have symptoms of mental health problems that do not reach a diagnosis whether or not they also suffer social or work dysfunction |
The mental health agenda | Enabling people whose needs appear to go beyond struggling to access mental healthcare for timely assessment and, if necessary, treatment and support with recovery and returning to work or school |
