Often, we have activities we rely on to care for ourselves, yet we get stuck in routines, patterns and expectations where we cannot regularly invest in our own health and wellness. Using mindfulness and self compassion strategies, we will examine self care and wellness and work together to inform what will be supportive for you.
CARE is a FREE mindfulness-based program for frontline staff, caregivers, and healthcare providers. This six-week mental health and mindfulness program is designed to help develop and sustain emotional well-being by learning coping skills and developing strategies to deal with difficult situations and feelings of isolation.

Empathic Strain, previously referred to as Compassion Fatigue, refers to the profound emotional and physical exhaustion that helping professionals and caregivers can develop over the course of their career. It is a gradual erosion of all the things that keep us connected to others: our empathy, our hope, and of course our compassion - not only for others but also for ourselves.
