Damaging to mental health

The good thingsThe rest of the Refugee Casework team members were great to work with and we were able to be solid support networks to each other.

The challengesConstantly received inconsistent and contradictory requests and comments from the direct manager. Not willing to actively listen to feedback but rather was met with a very defensive persona.
