Are you a dedicated professional in out-of-home care, youth work, or social work, pouring your heart and soul into supporting others and often leaving little time for your own well-being?
If so, you are not alone.
Caring for others is not only incredibly rewarding, but it may also be emotionally and financially draining.
Burnout is a real risk, leaving you feeling depleted and less able to effectively support those who rely on you.
Why does it matter?
Emotional well-being allows you to flourish—especially in this fast-paced industry where resilience sharpens mental clarity, speeds up decision-making, and fosters genuine empathy. By reinforcing your shield against stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization, while fueling productivity and performance, you become better equipped to overcome setbacks, experience real fulfilment, and lead with an awakening sense of purpose, calm, balanced perspective, and enduring confidence (Maddock, 2024).
Furthermore, financial well-being fosters personal empowerment—liberating you to make informed choices, be proactive in wealth management (Fernandez & Sconti, 2023), seize dynamic opportunities, cultivate stronger relationships, pursue meaningful growth, and navigate life with flexibility and autonomy.
Hence, Trybe, in partnership with UOB, is thrilled to offer you a complimentary, informative workshop series designed to support you with financial literacy and creative activities that nurture your emotional wellness.
