Supporting Staff During the U.S. Government Foreign Assistance Freeze

The recent U.S. Government Foreign Assistance Freeze has created significant uncertainty and disruption for many humanitarian and development organizations. In response, we are making a selection of our staff care resources freely available to help organizations support their teams during this challenging time.

The resources on this page focus specifically on common stressors and organizational impacts related to the assistance freeze, including job insecurity, moral distress, and navigating organizational change. Whether your team is facing reduced funding, restructuring, or simply heightened emotional pressure, these tools are designed to offer practical guidance and reassurance.

We hope this collection will support both individuals and teams in coping with the emotional and operational fallout of this policy shift.

To explore these and other resources, visit our full Staff Care Resource Library, which includes tools on burnout, stress management, peer support, and more.
