NO-BULLSHIT MENTAL HEALTH TOOLS
FOR THOSE WHO SERVE
If your job is to serve your community, our job is to serve you.
If you work as a guardian (first response, healthcare, deathcare), your job is both incredibly important and emotionally exhausting. And while there is a lot of chatter out there about taking good care of your mental health, sometimes it’s hard to know what the hell that actually means.
Are you feeling the strain? Have you stopped laughing the way you used to? Are your relationships strained or dull? Do you dread going to work? You aren’t alone, all of those are common outcomes of doing work that serves others.
Is it time to do something about it?

I know what it’s like to feel like a shell. Like a shadow of my former self.
I had once been capable, motivated, and fun - but I slowly became foggy and impatient. The way I was serving seemed honorable and important, but why did it also feel like it was changing me?
In the midst of it all, I also struggled to find any mental health support that truly understood the strain of the service and could help. So once I was out of the pit, I went back to grad school, learned everything I could about the stress of guardian work, and turned Stack of Stones into the resource that I wish I had.
Mental health services can be daunting. Who can you trust? Where do you start? How does therapy actually work - and will there be crying and hugging? I get it, and my mission is to make it easier. So we’ve taken thousands of hours of clinical work and research and turned it into a collection of resources that are straightforward and tailored to the specific needs of someone that does your job.
Thank you for the work you do, and please take good care of yourself.
— Shannon, Founder/Therapist, Stack of Stones
