Flourish aims to support you as a midwife to do two things: to name
what's going on around you and within you, then to find and claim your
distinctive place in the midwifery world.
You might be a newly qualified or early career midwife facing the
challenges of finding your voice as well as your feet. Maybe you're an
established midwife but feel as though you have lost your way - and with
it the impetus to reshape either yourself or the environment you work
in. Perhaps you're a team leader seeking to find the vocabulary to
connect with your team, acknowledge what they might be feeling and reach
out for resources and tools to support them to thrive, reflect and grow.
As a guidebook, Flourish is a tour of discovery that reveals how
'standard' maternity environments and practices might be impacting you
personally, and then invites you to reconnect with the core of your
personality, purpose and passion. We'll tackle trauma, moral injury,
burnout and compassion fatigue, then employ array of exercises to find a
way back 'home', to a place where your sense of motivation for being a
midwife is rekindled. A place where you can reconnect to your values,
strengths, the world you want to live in and your unique voice. Once
you're there, you will be able to make real, rich choices about your
life and your career.
