You spend so much of your life being strong for everyone else. This room is where you don’t have to.

This is a quiet corner of the sanctuary — a place for the helpers, the healers, the educators, the caregivers, the overworked, and the overwhelmed to finally exhale. Here, you can release the thoughts you’ve been carrying in silence. The ones you can’t say in staff meetings, group chats, or family gatherings.

Here, you can:

• Name your frustration

• Admit you’re tired

• Say “this isn’t fair”

• Tell the truth about how heavy it’s been

You don’t have to be polished here. You just have to be honest.

Guiding Principles

This room is held together by values, not rules:

• Respect — We speak to each other with dignity.

• Confidentiality — No identifying details about students, coworkers, or families.

• Compassion — We respond with care, not correction.

• No Judgment — Pain is not graded here.

• Consent for Advice — No advice unless someone asks for it.
