A peer-to-peer support hotline, created specifically for frontline workers. Connect with someone who has lived, vetted experience in your field or a related one — someone who truly gets it. Whether you're navigating grief, burnout, frustration, or just need to vent, we're here to listen.

This is not therapy, counseling, or mentorship — think of us more like a friend who understands your world and might be able to help in ways others can't.

We offer facilitated support groups at organizations that support community and the social justice movement. These are community-rooted workshops and circles that strengthen trust and address systemic issues of burnout more deeply.

Topics could include but not limited to:

• navigating burnout & compassion fatigue.

• nervous system recovery tools

• How to integrate nature-based practices into daily life or workplaces

• conversations about boundary setting in the workplace

• navigating systemic pressures & grief.

• utilizing work benefits.

• Onsite Permaculture Gardens

• Introductory ecotherapy themes (e.g., outdoor mindfulness walks or nature-based group activities)

• Land-based collaboration with indigenous knowledge holders

• Communal Meals

• Creative Outlets (art, writing, movement)

• Quiet zones

• Satellite Masseuse / Spa Field trips

Self Led, Slow & Soft day, week, month or even longer "respite retreats" in the country, tailored specially for frontline workers.

All programming firmly rooted in a community care approach.

Blending:

• Ecotherapy Programming (Art, Nature, Community, Movement, Story)

• Somatic practices (massage, yoga, sauna, hot/cold therapy)

• Forest therapy & Garden sessions

• Peer-led support spaces, conversations, community meals.

• Practical workshops (e.g., "sustaining activism long-term," “healthy coping mechanism” “ "nervous system regulation tools and techniques”, “how to be there for each other.")

• Prioritize accessibility (low-barrier locations, transportation support)

• Pushing for systemic change. e.g., policy recommendations around burnout prevention, frontline worker support, advocate to initiate support & debrief circles within workplaces.

• Build coalitions with other orgs doing anti-burnout, harm reduction, and ecological justice work
