We offer trauma support in South Carolina and across the US, because mental healthcare for nurses and healthcare workers should be accessible for all.

Not Sure Where to Begin?
Take a moment for yourself or your team. Schedule a no-cost session to explore how trauma-informed support can help navigate stress, process challenging events, and find a clear path forward.
Acute Support:
For: Individuals or teams facing a recent trauma, crisis, or disaster
- Immediate, compassionate support after high-stress events.
- Restore a sense of safety and calm.
- Connection to ongoing care and resources.
- Reduce immediate emotional distress.
- Promote psychological safety.
- Support recovery without retraumatization.
Not every event can be resolved in the moment. While acute support addresses immediate needs, many healthcare workers carry the ongoing weight of cumulative stress. That is where long-term trauma-informed strategies come in, providing continued space for recovery and resilience.
Long Term Trauma Support

- Provide a safe space to process cumulative or secondary trauma.
- Feel heard and supported.
- Build stronger coping and recovery strategies.
- Sustainable mental-health and emotional support.
- Lays the groundwork for healing and resilience.
