Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
People facing multiple disadvantage rarely need one thing, yet the services they rely on are funded, commissioned and measured separately. This module looks at who is in the system, at the Plymouth Alliance for Complex Needs and England's Changing Futures programme, and at why systems change slower than people. It sets out five tools for integration, five steps for building a partnership, and new duties to collaborate in Wales and England. Work in homelessness, mental health and harm reduction is meaningful, and it also leaves a mark. This module distinguishes vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout, drawing on McCann and Pearlman, Figley, and Maslach and Leiter, and explores moral injury from Shay and Litz. It covers ProQOL, Schwartz Rounds, supporting staff after a death, and the commitments that make wellbeing an organisational responsibility.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Explain why partnerships without shared budgets or shared risk tend to stay as conversations, using the Plymouth Alliance and Changing Futures as examples.
- Compare five tools for integration and the way each tends to go wrong, from pooled budgets to alliance contracts.
- Plan the steps to move a partnership from paper to practice, ready for new duties to collaborate in Wales and England.
- Distinguish vicarious trauma, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, burnout and moral injury, and explain why each calls for a different response.
- Plan a humane, planned response after the death of someone your service supports, from immediate support to honouring and remembering together.
- Assess whether wellbeing in your organisation is treated as a personal duty or an organisational responsibility, using commitments such as protected supervision and humane caseloads.
