Where prevention meets cure

What happens when someone working in mental health finds their own wellbeing affected by workplace conflict?

Where prevention meets cure tells the story of a senior manager in the mental health sector, whose conflict with their manager began to take a serious toll.

Despite more than 25 years’ experience leading teams, the situation affected them both personally and professionally. In this personal first-hand account, they describe how they recognised the impact of the conflict, decided to act, and found a way forward through mediation.

In this case study:

• How workplace conflict affected their confidence, health, and life outside work.
• What prompted them to take action.
• How mediation helped rebuild the working relationship and create a more collaborative way forward.
