Hi! Thank you for wanting to learn more about Debriefing the Front Lines (DTFL). I have been a nurse going on 5 years, working in many different areas of the hospital. Throughout my career, I have grown to love nursing and have cared for many lovely patients, and worked with many wonderful people. My compassion towards others and desire to help those in need is fulfilled by being a nurse. Our broken healthcare system, short staffing, and lack of needed resources has caused a lot of burn out, heart ache and compassion fatigue. Debriefing the Frontlines has offered me much needed reminders that I am not alone; there is hope, and I can find my way back to the nurse I want to be. My mentor and Executive Director of DTFL, Tara, helps me think through tough experiences at work and gives me resources to re-center my thinking. One of my favorite activities Tara initiated, was a build your own bouquet event. A group of nurses gathered to share a meal, connect and enjoy beautiful blooms. This is just one way Debriefing the Frontlines works to heal us healers and bring the joy and compassion back into nurses, such as myself.
I appreciate your support even by simply learning more about DTFL and how it helps nurses in the community truly heal and grow.
If you would like to support DTFL by donating, any amount is much appreciated!! Thank you!
Much love,
Caroline

I would not be where I am without taking the first step and signing up for my first debriefing the front lines session. Tara and the entire team have completely changed my life and given me the tools, support and love I need to work through my trauma. Tara is an incredible person and I am so grateful to know her.
