VOA|ReST: Resilience Strength Time

VOA|ReST is a virtual small group peer support service providing a confidential, interactive process for people struggling with loneliness, stress and fatigue during these extraordinary times. Each VOA|ReST group follows processes designed to discharge distress and enable rediscovery of positive commitments to work and lifestyle goals. It is one way of alleviating exposure to moral distress experienced by frontline workers in long-term care, health care, social services and the general public in the aftermath of a global health crisis. Moral distress is characterized by emotions such as shame, guilt, humiliation, fury, despair, self-loathing, sorrow and a loss of trust. Without a chance to address these sometimes-debilitating feelings, people are at risk for moral injury. Sessions are limited to 10 or less participants. Video use, with your camera, is required for participation in VOA|ReST sessions.
