Program Results

When participants first begin this program, many share that they don’t have coping skills to deal with strong emotions, or the ability to notice when they feel emotionally drained.

By the end of the program, they often describe themselves as calmer, more balanced, and better equipped to take care of themselves - both personally and at work.

Before the program, participants reported:

  • struggling to rest without feeling guilty

  • feeling overwhelmed and unsure how to cope

  • inability to set boundaries with others

  • difficulty naming their emotions in the moment

After completing the program, participants shared that they:

  • felt more confident setting and maintaining boundaries

  • developed healthier ways to regulate strong emotions

  • began practicing self-care without guilt

  • created strategies to prevent burnout at work

What program participants are saying.

  • "One thing I've changed is how I express myself through communicating calmly so I can get my point across and get the issue resolved. I don't let other people's behavior affect me."

  • "My perception was that saying no or prioritizing me was selfish and unkind. But it overwhelmed me [to not do so, and I realized] I need time to relax and take care of me."

  • "I've learned to take a break! It is okay if the house isn't perfect. It is important to take time with those you care about. I don't need to be so emotionally drained - I need to enjoy my life."

What this means for you.

These results demonstrate that participants are leaving the program with stronger skills in emotional regulation, self-care, and boundary setting. This translates into:

  • Improved resilience - staff are better able to manage stress and recover from challenges.

  • Healthier workplace dynamics - clearer boundaries reduce conflict and burnout.

  • Greater sustainability - participants are more likely to remain engaged and effective in their roles over time.
