This book looks at the use of support groups to foster emotional resilience, deal with potential conflict and support reflective practice. The authors and contributors explore the influences that help and hinder the setting up and running of staff support groups, and attempt to counter the often negative reactions that the term "staff support" can evoke. They demonstrate that support groups can be a valuable and sophisticated intervention that need careful preparation and skilful management to succeed, and in turn can not only benefit individuals but departments and organisations as a whole.
