Supporting volunteers to take an inclusive wellness approach

Overview

Picture
 Volunteers are a critical component of implementing an inclusive, wellness approach to support older people living at home.

The Supporting Volunteers to take an Inclusive Wellness Approach is designed for service providers with a volunteer workforce.  An inclusive, wellness approach considers and addresses the diversity of all clients, taking into account their experiences, needs and preferences. It focuses on delivering services that put the client at the centre of their own care. An inclusive, wellness approach seeks to assist people to live in the community as independently, and autonomously as possible. 

The Resource Kit aims to build the capacity of service providers to engage with volunteers about how wellness, diversity and inclusion principles contribute to service quality and positive outcomes for clients. The resources in the kit are designed to assist service providers integrate an inclusive, wellness approach in their processes for volunteer recruitment, induction and orientation, training and on-going engagement with volunteers. Download the full resource kit and work through the individual handouts for practical ways to embed good inclusive wellness approaches within you services.
