The Resilient Campaigner

Campaigning is challenging and it takes its toll on all of us. Dealing with difficult social issues and personal stories on a daily basis. Working in a hostile policy environment where change is hard and contested. Having to sell campaigns to sceptical stakeholders. These are just some of the ways campaigning can test us. It is essential for our own mental health, and for the needs of those we campaign for and with, that we build resilience and take care of ourselves.
