In remote environments, physical needs, emotional responses and relationships can become difficult to ignore. What can these experiences teach us about supporting people under pressure?
Join biologist and wilderness educator Francesca Hamilton as she shares lessons from her work as a senior wilderness therapy instructor in the Idaho desert. Through field stories, she explores how outdoor living can reconnect people with their basic needs, create opportunities to practise emotional regulation and reveal the difference between understanding behaviour and changing it.
Francesca also reflects on the responsibility of caring for others when you are tired, frustrated or reaching your own limits. She considers how empathy can help leaders manage their responses, maintain safety and support someone experiencing distress.
Connecting these experiences with medicine and expedition practice, this webinar explores the role of environment, practical skills and human connection in supporting wellbeing and personal agency.
