Wellbeing for activists by RefugEAP Network https://padlet.com/refugeapnetwork/vsm6vqxk7pxwax9 This Padlet is made with love for those who are refusing to look away at this time of deep social, political and environmental crisis. It is for those whose roles (whether paid or voluntary) involve struggle within or against entrenched systems of power and oppression, which might including working with refugees, environmentalism, decoloniality, etc. Whilst crucial, this work can also be draining, overwhelming and lead to ill health and burnout. This Padlet attempts to draw together useful resources for those who find themselves in this position, and warmly invites you to contribute to it so that, together, we can build a comprehensive pool of resources to nurture ourselves, enabling us to continue to do this vital work for years to come ❤ ✊ ❤ en-us 2026-05-16 10:26:16 UTC 2026-05-21 12:50:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/svg/2764.svg Booklet: Rest as Rebellion: The Activists' Guide to Self-Care refugeapnetwork https://padlet.com/refugeapnetwork/vsm6vqxk7pxwax9/wish/3915536814 A useful set of guidelines by the Center for Applied Non-Violent Actions and Strategies
