The Invisible Load

Julie Chalmers, Associate Clinician

Women’s Invisible Load

The invisible load is a book written by Dr Libby Weaver, which breaks down where much of our stress and overwhelm comes from. This book inspired one of our Associate Clinicians, Julie Chalmers, and is a topic she brought to light during our International Women’s Day Events. We wanted to share more on this insightful topic which affects most women. Whether they realise it or not.

“Our invisible load is the stress we carry, that no one sees, that drives how we think and feel. From the physical load on our body to the emotional load in our mind, this invisible load is what really sits at the heart of our stress. And until we learn to unpack this, reducing our experience of stress will be almost impossible.” Dr Libby Weaver, The invisible load.  

What’s your invisible load?

Invisible loads can look different for each of us. It’s about carrying the mental burden of ‘responsibility’ even when we’re sharing the load or not physically doing the task that responsibility relates to. Perhaps you are the walking family calendar; you know when it’s time to take the dogs to the vet, when the children are due their vaccinations or what vitamins they need to take after dinner each night. Someone’s birthday? You remember to buy a present and send a card. Or perhaps you are the responsible one who manages the family budget and takes care of all the bills. Maybe you’re the planner, planning every detail to the last dot. An upcoming family holiday? You scroll through the latest deals, assess the safest countries, and decide on what is the most affordable spot.

Video: Sydney Children's Hospital triple their utilisation

Dorienne Spennato, AccessEAP Director, Clinical Services Delivery and Sally Laugesen, Associate Director, Organisational Development and Workforce Strategy Workforce discuss the pilot program implemented at the Sydney Children's Hospital.

Sydney Children's Hospital Pilot Program

As we continue to navigate through the challenges of COVID, we know that healthcare workers are on the frontline and still under immense pressure. Recognising the strain facing the healthcare industry, we partnered with Sydney Children's Hospital in 2020, implementing a pilot program to bring EAP to their people. With healthcare workers experiencing fatigue, high workloads and long hours, the aim of the program was to provide accessible support at a crucial time. Our approach was collaborative, investigative and collective, to ensure we were providing the right support.

A permanent onsite clinician was offered to all staff at group and individual levels. Supervision and wellbeing checks were also implemented to support differing roles. The result of the program was increased awareness, trust and utilisation. Staff are using both the EAP and onsite service, more than doubling the uptake of counselling services and leading to better outcomes for their people.

How can we support you?
