Whether you're burned out, stressed, or thriving, we will guide you to reflect on your leadership, equip you with tangible tools for your team, and honor your humanity. Let's learn from each other and heal out loud. 🤗 Check out Episode 1: Microdosing Wellness, live now on the We Are For Good Podcast feed... https://hubs.la/Q02T0Ct-0

Nonprofit professionals are some of the most passionate and dedicated people around 👫 But that commitment to serving others can sometimes result in your own well-being becoming an afterthought. This World Mental Health Day, take a moment for yourself. Whether it’s prioritizing that lunchtime walk you usually skip or scheduling a catch-up with a colleague who always makes you smile, small acts of self kindness can make a difference. For the days when you need a little extra support, consider bookmarking these mental health resources from We Are For Good 💙  https://lnkd.in/gTBx7umw
