Resilience in healthcare is a shared process. Resilient individuals strengthen organizations, and resilient organizations support individuals. Leadership is what connects the two but gaps remain, especially in how we support informal caregivers. 🔍 support4resilience.eu/how-can-lead...

Support4Resilience @support4resilience.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Leaders play a key role in connecting people and systems in healthcare. By building trust, supporting teams, and ensuring the right resources, they help create the conditions where resilience can grow, both for individuals and organizations.

Support4Resilience @support4resilience.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Resilience in informal caregivers is not just personal. It’s shaped by support, skills, and how care systems work around them. From feeling competent in their role to access to training, support networks, and coordination with professionals, these elements make a real difference.

Support4Resilience @support4resilience.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Individual resilience in healthcare workers is shaped by both personal and workplace factors. From psychological safety and teamwork to leadership support and opportunities to grow, resilience depends on the environment around us.

Closing the Mental-Health Gap in Elderly Care | Support4Resilience

Why is there a gap in mental health support for elderly care workers? S4R explores the costs of burnout and why co-creation is the solution.

010

Support4Resilience @support4resilience.bsky.social · 20/11/2025

What happens when support focuses on symptoms, not systems? While informal carers often get counseling, our systematic review found that interventions for elderly care workers are often limited to relaxation techniques. Breathing exercises don't fix shift stability or workload.

Support4Resilience @support4resilience.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

A key insight: middle managers play a central role in turning policies into daily practice and supporting workers’ wellbeing. Strengthening their capacity is essential for resilient LTC systems.

120

Support4Resilience @support4resilience.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

The study compares LTC systems in Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Italy and Australia. Despite different structures, all rely on similar strategies like ageing in place, digital tools and task shifting.

Key findings: organisational and managerial interventions are scarce. For workers, only a few approaches helped (mindfulness, breathing, ACT). For informal caregivers, support or counselling and skills training showed more consistent gains.
