How we want to make a bigger difference

The heart of InterHealth is a passion for serving the carer. It is also innovation! 

We are continually developing our support in line with best practice to meet the changing and complex needs of those working to make a difference. We’re looking into ways that we can:

1. Smarter and more accessible support people we already support.
   
2. Provide more support for more people around the world.

• We want to be able to extend our services to people from developing countries working to make a difference through better remote health services and practice partnerships in regional centres around the world.
   
• We want to provide psychological support to aid workers in east Africa by actively promoting partnership with a Kenyan psychological health service.
   
• We want to ensure that we alleviate the pressure on international workers to manage their health by providing empowering support through technology, making sure they get what they need at the right time and freeing them up to focus on their roles.
   
• We want to provide more training internationally to help build resilience in teams and provide health education to more people making a difference. We particularly want to build the resilience of those working in their own countries where conflict and instability is the norm.
   
• We want to enable online learning for thousands of staff and volunteers all around the world, to equip with the preventative knowledge they need to stay healthy and well in their roles.

Over the next three years, our support to those working internationally will be transformed. Through innovative technology, the extension of InterHealth services directly into the field and through carefully selected practice partnerships, we will be delivering tailored and timely support to staff and volunteers working all over the world.

Our international service developments reflect our desire to ‘virtually accompany’ staff sent with agencies on international contracts, and the vision to move towards greater health & wellbeing support for national staff and those recruited from the Global South, as Southern Nations increasingly take the lead in international development and resolving the issues of poverty and injustice they face.
