We’re in the caregiver burnout prevention business.

Empowerment
Use the new skills you’ve learned to take care of your overall health and well-being so that you can advocate for and support your loved one.
One-to-One Caregiver Support
We offer two programs to connect caregivers with either a trained volunteer or a Certified Family Peer Support Specialist who has experience caring for someone living with a mental illness. These programs provide caregivers with support and resources to navigate the journey of caregiving.
Breathing Meditation Classes
We know that meditation allows you to better manage day-to-day and critical stressful situations. We have found that utilizing proper breathing techniques is vital to the regulation of our stress levels.
Group Coaching (Support Groups)
The goals for our group coaching (support groups) include reinforcing a variety of skills that seek to build resilience and empower the mental illness caregiver as well as establish a caring community.
