Thank you to Sarah Gaer Su***de Prevention Specialist for presenting her workshop, Beyond the Medical Model: Soul Exhaustion and Soul Care to this group yesterday afternoon! ☀️

Sarah gave a thoughtful and inspiring presentation on defining the soul and introduced us to the concepts of soul exhaustion and soul care. Her message served as both a reflection and an important call to action: to restore the soul to its rightful place at the center of healing and care.

Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your wisdom and compassion with us!

Thank you, also, to Ana from the Massachusetts Behavioral Health Helpline for providing information and resources at our program!
