“I found this program to be very helpful – it provided me with simple tools for self-care that can be used throughout the day to decrease stress and anxiety. “

– Frontline Worker, CARE Program

“This program and the facilitators made me feel that I’m not alone in my current feelings and that someone was there who cares about how we were coping and feeling.”

– Frontline Worker, CARE Program

“Thank you so much for offering such a top-notch program to health care providers free of charge! It came at a time when I was feeling particularly challenged, exhausted, unsupported and drained, and not wanting to care for anyone anymore. I was so tired it was hard to even see how depleted I was feeling. The tools that were provided, despite not being new to me, were an excellent reminder. It was also a safe place to be each week, that I could look forward to. From the comfort of my home, it was a place where I didn’t have to lead myself in my care, but could be taken care of for a bit, and feel supported not just be the facilitator, but knowing that I was not alone, as there were so many others in attendance, feeling similarly to me. It was truly heartwarming and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to participate.

Thank you,”

– Dr. Melissa Howe, ND
