The mental health of caregivers across veterinary and human medicine is declining rapidly, and yet, this is a time when the state of our planet's health requires all caregivers, all Healers, to be working - quickly - toward a solution.

Healers utilize an emotional connection to our patients and their caregivers on a daily basis in order to provide compassion, support, and guidance. ​

​Often, this connection comes at a cost, particularly when a Healer is required to maintain a difficult emotional posture frequently or over a long period of time.

As Healers ourselves, it is impossible to not take action and look for durable solutions.  Our Care for the Healer (CFTH) nonprofit is a 501(c)(3) organization built by Healers to stand as an advocate for ourselves, our colleagues, and our communities.  We are serving the mission of planetary health by serving at the level of the individual and community.  It is our belief that by restoring the wellbeing of Healers, it is possible to achieve a planetary state of health.  

Our Programs:

• Compassion Program: provide compassionate problem-solving & resource navigation assistance for Healers themselves and those for whom they are caring;
• Curiosity Program: reduce the stigma around emotional wellbeing through curiosity-driven learning; 
• Innovation Program: pursue novel approaches to physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing & healing.​​

Your work as a Healer is essential for the wellbeing of the World. 
​Be well yourself.

​It's okay and it is normal to feel all of the human emotions of frustration, grief, anxiety...
​
but also joy, connection, and love!

As Healers we are often immersed in the landscape of our industry.

It can be difficult to step away from the patterns and expectations of our professional lives and remember that we are humans too! ​
