The Mission
The mission of Songs for the Soul is to support the wellbeing of society's professional caregivers through storytelling and music and to foster a culture that celebrates and sustains compassionate care.
Core Principles
(1) Individual caregivers attend programs without cost to them, so that cost is not a barrier to self-care.
(2) Songwriters are compensated for their contributions.
Programs
Songs for the Soul provides a multi-dimensional program for small groups of professional caregivers that uses expressive writing, storytelling, self-care skills, and music to help them address the grief and suffering that is part of their work. The standard program is six-weeks, offered in-person or on-line. A weekend retreat format also exists for caregiving teams.
