The ASLI Wellbeing Fund


The ASLI Wellbeing Fund was established in 2019/20. If you are navigating a professional crisis, the fund can cover two free mentoring or supervision sessions to give you the support you need.


The goal of the Wellbeing Fund has always been simple: If you are struggling, you don’t have to face it alone.

Who can use the Wellbeing Fund?


ASLI offers up to two free sessions with a supervisor or mentor to trainee and qualified practitioners members, and eligible students whose studies or work are being affected.

 

You may be eligible if you are:

 

●     Facing a crisis situation* that is impacting your work, or has arisen from your work

●     Making or responding to an NRCPD complaint

●     Returning to work after health issues or trauma

●     Experiencing bullying, harassment, discrimination, or horizontal violence

●     Adjusting to work after a serious health condition or disability diagnosis


Please refer to our guidance document here


Getting Support Through the Wellbeing Fund


If you meet the Wellbeing Fund criteria, you can access up to two free sessions with either:

●     An ASLI-qualified mentor or professional supervisor (see ASLI Directory), or

●     A suitable external supervisor (outside interpreting / translating profession if there’s a conflict of interest, or if you prefer)

Please note that to use an external supervisor, they must be qualified, insured, and supervised in their own practice. NRCPD Practice Assessors and Senior Practitioners with supervision qualifications can be eligible. You can refer to the following links to help you source a suitable supervisor:
