Hosting is a rewarding, but sometimes challenging experience. This information from Reset on Mental health, self-care and being aware of trauma may be a helpful resource for you, and there is further information on Supporting the Wellbeing of Your Guest. You can also get trauma tips for yourself and your guest, and watch a video about how to give a trauma informed welcome to survivors of trauma as a host from Trauma Treatment International.
You can also sign up to an introduction to refugee safety, wellbeing and support from the Sanctuary Foundation, which provides essential basic training for all those living, working or volunteering with refugees.
This course is designed to be followed online in your own time. Each lesson will take you around 20 minutes and includes video segments and interactive elements to aid learning. A certificate will be issued to all who complete the course.
Sign up for the free course via The Sanctuary Foundation website
