Small and often: Using micro-strategies to help us refuel and recalibrate during disrupted and challenging times Remember two weeks to flatten the curve? As we now know, two weeks turned into a complex multi-year series of prolonged lockdowns, school closures and intense pressures on families, workplaces, and front line services. Basic human physiology has demonstrated that no one can stay healthy while being on high alert for prolonged periods of time: what may work well for a multi-week crisis is not tenable for a prolonged pandemic. Based on research on neuroplasticity, change management and compassion satisfaction, we will explore and discuss key strategies that everyone can use to support their service users and themselves to recalibrate and restore themselves into the Fall. We will discuss:

• The impact of constant change and uncertainty.
• The Window of Tolerance Framework and how it can be used daily to recalibrate.
• How to develop a practical toolkit with further strategies to recalibrate.
