It’s messy out there

Prevent burnout. Strengthen resilience. Support your staff. 

The Cost of Stress

Managing a team is tough. You’re balancing the needs of stakeholders, funders, and the well-being of your team members, who may be struggling with stress, exhaustion, and burnout.

Most professionals sign up for demanding roles because they care deeply about their work. But along the way, long hours, pressure, and instability often take a toll. Instead of focusing on what matters most, your team find themselves drained, just trying to keep things running. This affects not only the well-being of your staff, but also the effectiveness of 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 support, across high-stress environments such as humanitarian work, healthcare, social impact organizations, and more. We’ve worked with diverse teams around the world, helping them manage stress, recover from burnout, and build lasting resilience while delivering high-quality work.

Our experience spans the challenges faced in high-pressure, high-stakes, and resource-constrained environments, but the solutions we offer are adaptable to teams across all sectors.

We’ve seen first-hand how deeply professionals care about their work. We’ve also seen how burnt out they become.

That’s why we developed staff support services designed to support teams in a variety of settings, fostering resilience and well-being without sacrificing performance.
