Abstract
During 2020 and early 2021 the Community Learning Disability staff team’s wellbeing was significantly impacted by Covid-19, national lockdowns and the changes to working practices. The psychology team ran a virtual team away day which included a Tree of Life session for staff. A follow up Forest of Life group was run to give staff more time to share and discuss their trees. The Forest of Life group feedback had three key themes; improved professional relationships, how the personal can impact the professional and increased confidence using the Tree of Life clinically (for psychologists within the group).
