As guardians of wildlife, your dedication is the core of our shared mission. The cycle of rescue, rehabilitation, and release can be both rewarding and challenging. WNT recognises the importance of sustaining those who dedicate their time and hearts to the wellbeing of our natural world.
The wildlife sector, often akin to a "first responder" community, demands resilience and strength. The nature of environmental events and the unique challenges of home-based care underscore the critical need for self-care. As a volunteer-driven community, your wellbeing is not just a personal matter; it's an investment in the sustainability of wildlife conservation efforts.
We have selected a collection of resources below, aimed at supporting your mental and emotional wellbeing. Please note that the content provided on this page is intended to offer information and resources related to self-care for wildlife sector volunteers. It is not a substitute for professional psychological services. If you find yourself in need of expert assistance or counseling, we encourage you to seek the services of accredited and recognised mental health professionals.
