About this course
Endeavour Medical have teamed up with the Royal Geographical Society to bring you Wellbeing in the Wild, as part of the Explore Skills series. Facilitated by wellbeing and mental health experts Dr Sophie Redlin and Dr Conor Diffin, this one-day course equips participants with a 'psychological kit list' for working in remote locations, learning to identify mental health triggers and foster a team culture designed to succeed, even under pressure.
The course runs from 9:30am - 5pm and covers psychological demands of expedition and remote environments, techniques to maintain personal wellbeing under pressure, and strategies to support teammates' mental health. Participants will build and use a personal 'emotional kit list' as a tool for resilience, foster open, stigma-free communication about mental health, and learn to recognise and respond appropriately to mental health crises.
