What People Are Saying
“Counselors at The Rest Initiative provided an invaluable service to me and my staff over the past several years. I was the Executive Director of an organization involved in challenging international work. They made themselves available to be consistent listeners and care for us especially during stressful times. As a leader, I felt confident because TRI was helping me do all I could to support my staff and increase their resilience. They also helped me think through and create a structure within our HR process for member care from on-boarding through return home. Thank you, TRI for your contribution to our positive impact around the world!”
