CiC Wellbeing celebrates recognition at This Can Happen Global Awards
CiC Wellbeing was delighted to attend the This Can Happen Global Awards 2026, celebrating excellence in workplace mental wellbeing, after being shortlisted alongside Clyde & Co for the Wellbeing Collaboration Award. The awards ceremony took place at A&O Shearman in London on 15th October.
Our nomination recognised the Vicarious Trauma Programme, developed collaboratively by CiC Wellbeing and Clyde & Co to support legal professionals routinely exposed to potentially traumatic and distressing content.
Drawing on CiC Wellbeing’s clinical expertise and an established partnership with Clyde & Co, Working with Potentially Harmful Content was co-designed to build awareness and long-term resilience. Tailored pathways were created for colleagues, managers and senior leaders, with the first phase reaching more than 250 colleagues across 30 sessions. The programme has since become embedded into onboarding and ongoing development.
While we didn’t take home the award on the night, we were thrilled with the recognition the programme received from the judges. The judges praised the collaboration for responding to a clearly identified challenge and particularly highlighted its preventative approach, co-design and relevance to the realities of legal professionals. One judge described it as:
“A strong example of the potential benefits to be realised when employers and providers come together… Fantastic, brave work.”
Another highlighted the importance of tailoring vicarious trauma support specifically for the legal profession and embedding it into onboarding, noting that CiC Wellbeing’s clinical expertise and Clyde & Co’s understanding of sector-specific risks were both essential to its impact.
Being shortlisted is an important recognition of what can be achieved when employers and wellbeing specialists work collaboratively to address psychological risks proactively.
Congratulations to all this year’s winners and nominees, and thank you to This Can Happen for bringing together organisations committed to creating healthier workplaces.
