Reflective Practice has been proven to reduce burnout in the workplace and to increase resilience (Naismith, N. (2019), Skovholt, T.M. and Trotter-Mathison, M. (2016)). It is classed as a type of Affective Support, which organisations are increasingly offering to support their staff.

Following a pilot project in 2021/22, we know there is a growing demand for Reflective Practice across the arts and health sector in Wales. There has been a recognition by the Arts Council of including a budget for artist wellbeing in funding applications and a growing expectation across the UK arts and health commissioning landscape for artist wellbeing to be integrated into all projects.

WAHWN found that the benefits of accessing Reflective Practice for freelance artists is significant, and we now want to support organisations to find ways to embed this practice within their organisations for the wellbeing benefit of their delivery teams. This aligns with the findings from the Baring Foundation.
