What is StRaW?

StRaW is an evidence-based peer support programme that enables trained StRaW Practitioners to detect and prevent mental health issues experienced by colleagues at work.

StRaW Practitioners undergo specific training allowing them to understand the impact that various stressors, whether from work or home, have upon their colleagues.They are not ‘stress experts’, counsellors or therapists but their training allows them to understand confidentiality and be able to actively listen and offer practical advice and assistance.

StRaW was developed in 2014 based on the long-established and evidence-based approach to traumatic stress in the workplace – TRiM (trauma risk management). March on Stress Managing Director, Professor Neil Greenberg, is one of the experts who developed StRaW.

Professor Greenberg said: “StRaW provides a structured framework for dealing with non-traumatic stress within the workplace.

“It goes beyond providing information about mental health and provides delegates with skills to carry out a structured risk assessment and the skills to provide simple mentoring interventions to those who appear to be at risk of suffering mental health problems.”
