An 8-Session, Trauma-Informed Support Group for Healthcare Workers. Healthcare work asks a great deal of those who do it. This confidential support circle offers healthcare professionals a protected space to pause, reflect, connect with peers, and build practical tools for managing stress, burnout, and emotional fatigue. Through guided discussion, mindfulness, and gentle reflective practices, participants are supported in restoring balance, resilience, and meaning in their work.

Who Can Attend: Healthcare professionals of any discipline, including nurses, physicians, therapists, social workers, technicians, aides, administrators, and more
What We’ll Explore
• Burnout awareness and early warning signs
• Stress management and grounding tools
• Emotional resilience, grief, and moral distress
