What Learners Are Saying
Making time for myself
I liked that i need to remember to make time for myself and to think about all good things and how that makes me feel. I will take away all the strategies and use them in my everyday life.
Amazing session
Brittany was incredible. Thank you for always being respectful, compassionate and for offering a kind, listening ear. I really enjoyed every session.
Facilitators who foster connection
I appreciated the work of our facilitators. They bridged differences in tech-savviness, communication-style differences, and the complications of hosting a Zoom group with people who already know each other, very well.
Self-care opportunity at work
The facilitator was so gracious and supportive. I loved having the opportunity to reflect in ways I haven’t explored before
Strategies for better living
I enjoyed exploring new ways of taking care of myself so I can better support my clients and team mates
