The Program:

This two half-day virtual program is dedicated to providing a healing experience to direct service providers in human service systems.  We will provide healing opportunities for caregivers and organizations to promote resiliency, self-care, and reflective practice to better serve ourselves and our clients.  Interactive sessions include focus on addressing organizational trauma and responsibility, stress management, fostering therapeutic relationships, and much more!  Each day will also close with an experiential approach related to meditation and utilizing music as a medium for healing the body and mind connection through music based-practice.
