Our Story
What We Do
Proactive Care & Support - The Rest Initiative supports companies and organizations in service of others to ensure that their people are healthy and that thereby, their unique missions are accomplished. Through its specialized and comprehensive care, The Rest Initiative is committed to the emotional wellbeing of non-profit employees, and ultimately, to seeing thriving organizations.
We believe in providing proactive care for those who serve others by offering the support needed for these leaders to be present, efficient, and healthy in their work. By way of experience, our clinically trained coaches and counselors know the struggles people in these respective fields face and therefore anticipate what could arise. Our goal is to put systems and structures in place to support our participants before these happen; our approach is not reactionary but preemptive and holistic.
You are the experts in your field, and we are the experts in ours. We want to come alongside you and encourage the growth and expansiveness of your work through the support of ours. A TRI partnership looks different for everyone, but it will always propel your vision forward. We reinforce your goals by providing people with integrative emotional wellness support to promote the health and wellbeing of each of your employees and your organization as a whole.
Why We Do It
Working in service of others either at home or abroad will inevitably bring about a host of potential challenges including magnified personal struggles, cultural adjustment, stress, and more often than not, burnout. In our experience, we have witnessed far too much unnecessary trauma--pain that could have been avoided if only people would have had the right support at the right time. While your current circumstances may seem to inhibit you from receiving the support needed for your team to flourish in their work, our organization is committed to offering the best care for you and your people through the steady, consistent support of our seasoned team of coaches and counselors regardless of physical location.
