Updated Middle East Staff Care resource page

Recent developments in the Middle East have brought renewed distress for many people in the region and around the world. Escalating violence continues to affect civilians, communities, and those working to provide humanitarian support.

In light of these events, we have updated our Middle East Staff Care Resource page to help organizations and individuals access practical guidance for coping during times of crisis and insecurity.

The page brings together a selection of KonTerra resources designed to support wellbeing in high-stress and insecure environments, including guidance on:

ℹ️ Managing anxiety when political events feel threatening
ℹ️ Coping with traumatic events and grief
ℹ️ Supporting staff working in isolated or hazardous conditions
ℹ️ Maintaining sleep, resilience, and wellbeing during prolonged stress

Many of these resources are available in multiple languages, including English, Arabic, and Hebrew, and can be used by both individuals and managers supporting their teams.

We know that people experience these events in very different ways—whether directly affected, supporting response efforts, or watching from afar with deep concern for loved ones and colleagues. We hope these resources offer some practical support during a difficult time.

Please feel free to share them with colleagues, teams, and communities who may find them helpful.

If your organization needs additional support — including counseling, critical incident response, or staff care training — please don’t hesitate to reach out.
