Member Wellbeing
The personal and professional welfare of our Members is of paramount importance. Working in an environment that often demands duties way beyond that of a practitioners’ normal remit means that Members are particularly at risk of stress and fatigue.
Our aim is to address all aspects of the working environment on behalf of our members and to act as a guiding force in determining the pathway in which improvements are made. Raising standards is of paramount importance and implementation of best practice can alleviate many of the issues that concern us.
The SMPA is a well connected organisation both within and beyond sport and can assist members with any personal or professional enquiry in a discreet and confidential manner. We field dozens of calls assisting members who are experiencing difficulties in their work environment and this is now a valuable service we provide to members.
The SMPA has established a confidential mental health helpline for our Members Monday to Friday 9am until 5pm. If you would like to discuss any issue concerning your mental health or that of another please click the link below to email or call us.
