“Burnout stems from systems failures... The problem is not us being resilient... The problem is the systems and factors that are forcing us to have to be resilient in the first place.”

Questions We Often Hear

These are real questions from nonprofit workers like you. We believe in transparency and want you to feel confident about joining us.

  • We get it. You're stretched thin, which is exactly why this training exists. We offer multiple scheduling options including evening and weekend sessions. More importantly, participants consistently report that the training saves them time by helping them work more sustainably and advocate for better conditions.

    What participants say: "This training helped me stop spinning my wheels and focus on changes that actually matter."

  • Absolutely not. We explicitly reject the "fix yourself" approach. This training focuses on changing the systems and conditions that create burnout in the first place. We'll actually help you understand why individual self-care advice feels impossible when you're dealing with structural problems.

    Our approach: "Individual self-care without addressing systemic conditions is like telling someone to breathe better while their house is on fire."

  • Perfect! This training is designed for all levels of experience. We start with your lived experience and build from there. Our popular education approach means we learn together rather than having experts lecture at you. Many participants say this was their first accessible introduction to systems thinking.

    Learning environment: No jargon, no judgment, just practical tools you can immediately apply.


  • +

    Your safety is our priority. This training is designed with trauma-informed principles throughout. We have clear agreements, multiple ways to participate, options to step away anytime, and dedicated support facilitators monitoring for activation. We focus on patterns and systems rather than personal trauma stories.

    Trauma-informed features: Choice in participation, grounding practices, no pressure to share personal experiences, and ongoing support available.

  • Most burnout training focuses on individual resilience. We focus on collective healing and systems change. Out training also applies a public health lens, showing how worker wellbeing directly impacts community health. Plus, we work with both organizations AND their funders to address root causes.

    Unique elements: Real case study practice, public health framework, collective care solutions, and ongoing community support.

  • Change starts small and spreads. We'll teach you four strategic "doorways" for introducing collective care ideas, even in resistant environments. Many participants start by modeling different practices with their immediate team or finding one ally to work with. You're not alone in this work.

    Realistic approach: Start where you have influence, build alliances, and connect with other organizations doing this work.

  • Yes! We prioritize accessibility in all our work. We offer multiple participation formats (visual, written, verbal, embodied), closed captioning, screen reader compatibility, and flexible timing. If you have specific needs not mentioned here, please let us know and we'll work to accommodate them.

    Accessibility features: Multiple learning styles, movement options, quiet processing time, and individualized support available.

  • You'll join our community of practice with ongoing learning circles, peer support networks, and optional implementation coaching. We also provide a comprehensive resource package and connect you with other participants in your region. This isn't a one-and-done workshop—it's the beginning of sustained support.

    Ongoing support: Monthly community calls, resource library, peer connections, and coaching opportunities.
