The refill station: A Support Group for Helping Professionals
Do you spend your days supporting others, but often neglect your own well-being?
You're not alone. Helping professionals can face unique challenges that others may not understand. The constant emotional investment in others can leave you feeling drained and disconnected from your own needs.
The refill station is a supportive space designed specifically for helping professionals like you. This confidential support group provides an opportunity to:
- Connect with like-minded peers: Share experiences, challenges, and successes with others who understand the demands of your work.
- Prioritize self-care: Learn and practice self-care strategies to prevent burnout and maintain your own emotional well-being.
- Combat compassion fatigue: Develop tools for managing emotional stress and maintaining healthy boundaries.
- Find renewal and inspiration: Gain support and encouragement to continue your vital work with passion and purpose.
Some of the professionals we work with include: social workers, counselors, therapists, advocates, art therapists, case managers, psychologists, coaches, music therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, teachers, and support group facilitators but please note, we welcome any professional in need of support.
Join us in creating a community of support for those who dedicate themselves to supporting others.
This group is hosted by the nonprofit organization &Rise whose mission is to empower women to be the ultimate versions of themselves no matter what adversities they've faced. &Rise offers several weekly support groups that support women trauma and abuse survivors and are 100% private, 100% confidential, and 100% supportive!
We have an amazing community that are kind and know what you are going through. You do not have to suffer alone or suffer in silence, we are here for you! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
