Maine Youth Thriving invites you to join a custom Careback Retreat to kick off the Nurture ME conference, which is meant to give care back to those who give it most: school staff, social workers, healthcare workers, advocates, caregivers, and more.
Designed specifically for caring professionals to reduce compassion fatigue and build resilience, you can expect to experiment with strategies that support states of flow, wonder, awe, and social connection. Participants will enjoy guided activities such as artmaking, mindfulness, creative movement and expression, and restorative immersion in nature. This offering, led by Maine Youth Thriving, provides respite, education, and community to help replenish the cups of those on the frontlines caring for Maine’s most vulnerable populations. Join us for an afternoon of meaningful connection to yourself and to community.
