It’s messy out there
Prevent burnout. Strengthen resilience. Support Your staff
The Cost of Stress
Managing a team is tough. You can find yourself caught between funders who want results, and your team members who are exhausted and at risk of burnout.
Humanitarians sign up for this work because they care. But the workload, long hours, isolation, and instability wear them down. Instead of focusing on what matters, they spend too much energy just trying to stay afloat. And that takes a toll—on your team, your organization, and the people you serve.
Resilient Teams Do Better Work
We’re Dr. Rebecca Dempster and Yesim Arikut-Treece, two psychologists with over 45 years of combined experience in mental health and humanitarian settings. We’ve supported teams around the world, helping them produce their best work while staying healthy and resilient.
We’ve seen first-hand how committed humanitarians are. We’ve also seen how burnt out they become.
That’s why we created staff support services designed specifically for humanitarian teams.
