Can restorative supervision positively impact the emotional wellbeing of HEI lecturers in Healthcare?

There are increased levels of poor mental health and burnout among Higher Education Institution (HEI) staff compared to the general population due to increased workload, reduced autonomy, isolation and adaptation to a constantly evolving environment. Maintaining HEI staff wellbeing is crucial to providing a high standard of education for students. Lecturers provide emotional and behavioural student support which takes empathy, time, and heart and this work is challenging, leaving staff feeling emotionally depleted.
