Knowledge Is Power

If you are serving as a first responder, or in healthcare, deathcare, or social services - this work can beat the hell out of you. A key step towards taking care of yourself is having clear information about the stress you face and tools for how to take care of yourself.

We offer both live and on-demand trainings, so take a look at the schedule below and get started.


We are offering two free trainings in May. Join us for one or both!

Trainings require registration, so the Stack of Stones team will know your name, but the actual training is anonymous - we’ve specifically chosen software that doesn’t show your name or face. So don’t worry, no one outside of our team will know about your participation.

May Live Trainings

The Longer I Do This Work, The More I Hate People

(And Other Signs of Burnout)

If you work as a guardian (first responder, healthcare, deathcare, social services), you probably got into this work because you want to help people. But then you started helping people . . . and got a front-row seat to some of the repetitive, cruel, or downright dumb things that people do.

Over time, it can wear us down. So if you find yourself muttering about hating people, this training is for you. We will talk about common burnout culprits and some quick ways to fight it.
