Marriage and Family Therapists dedicate their lives to supporting others and creating positive change. Yet as the demand for mental health services continues to rise, many therapists face the dual challenge of caring for clients while managing stressors in their own lives. Prioritizing well-being is essential, not only to prevent burnout and compassion fatigue, but to sustain the meaningful work they do every day.
Connection and community are equally important for therapists. We thrive when we can share experiences, learn from one another, and know that we’re not navigating these challenges alone.
To help, here’s a collection of resources that will serve all MFTs, with focus on BIPOC therapists, those working from home, and others seeking support around mindfulness, movement, burnout, Zoom fatigue, and more.
