I work in a mental health service for children. It can be emotionally and mentally draining. As workers we try to self care, and build our supportive team regularly. Today we sat outside under a big tree, gentle breeze blowing, dappled sunlight through the leaves and lots of laughter as we made a garden in a tea cup. I definitely did not want to go back to work.

I’m glad you take some time for self care, that’s a very tough job you have.
Good shift today, started with a 4 hour respite and got to hear someone’s love story, talk about fate! I’ve also been saying bye to clients I know I won’t see again.
