Support work is heart-heavy. When a shift is intense, or when things go wrong, it is easy to carry that stress home. Many carers struggle with “Compassion Fatigue,” late-night overthinking, or feeling guilty for things beyond their control.
This 30-minute mindfulness session is designed specifically for the “helper.” It provides you with a mental circuit-breaker to stop the cycle of self-blame and help you transition from “Support Worker” back to “Yourself.”
- No entry requirement
This session is about practical emotional recovery, not just sitting in silence:
- The “Shift-End” Ritual: Learn a 2-minute mental routine to perform the moment you clock off, helping you “leave the work at work.”
- Silencing Self-Blame: Strategies to challenge the “I should have done more” mindset and replace guilt with a realistic understanding of your role.
- The “Body-Scan” for Stress: How to identify where you are physically holding your client’s trauma and how to release that tension.
- Micro-Mindfulness: Techniques that don’t require an hour of meditation—simple, 30-second breathing tools you can use in your car between clients.
- Protecting Your Peace: How to “empty the cup” so you can show up for your own family and life without feeling emotionally drained.
Students must attend the training session.
By the end of this 30-minute reset, you will be able to:
