The end goal of this interactive workshop would be to co-create a first draft of a ‘best practices’ guide -- not a one size fits all solution guide, but shared space for what we learned that works. Super-pragmatic. This workshop asks its participants to share and map their best (and worst) practices ‘threat models’ & share positive practices: 1. Culture & Narrative: what do you and your community do and did you learn to build & fuel healthy, supportive impactful culture using narratives or practices that don't reinforce ‘martyrdom,’ stigma or ‘othering.'? 2. Workload: how do you and your community counter, mitigate, or prevent work overload issues, “productivity” pressure, and the pressure from community and the 'marketplace' of human rights? 3. Leadership: what are the lessons you and your community have learned for leaders/supervisors that mitigate unhealthy practices & foster sustainable ones? 4. Do No Harm Funding: what are effective ways in which funders can foster sustainable practices, address root causes of unhealthy practices and or structurally remove pressures? 5. Resourcing Mental Health: how can we build better access to psychological or psychosocial support around the world or access to tailored mental health programming, mental health education, research and resources?
