An interconnected or "Maat" approach
US employees report high stress levels, but a lack of communication is undermining wellness programs
The September 2024 Firstup survey of 1,000 U.S. workers reveals a significant workplace stress problem, with 60% of respondents citing their jobs as a major stress source leading to burnout and reduced performance. Despite this, wellness program utilization remains low at 28%, largely due to communication issues and lack of awareness. The survey highlights a disconnect between available resources and employee engagement.
Lived Experience is a Game Changer!
Our biggest strength is our BIPOC woman founder, Alexis Thomason who is a lived experience expert, having grown up in poverty and been a teen mom herself, Alexis understands what is required to be successful coming from humble beginnings. She has understands how low-income and BIPOC families can shift from striving to thriving with adequate emotional support in their community.
Equitable Access
Marginalized and Minoritized communities need access to mental health and wellness supports that are culturally sustaining AND effective.
To date, mindfulness meditation has been taught almost exclusively in white, middle-and upper-class settings with minimal utilization in communities of color in the United States. (Salmon et al., 2004)

Transformative Retreat!
Because the Burnout Prevention Mindfulness Retreat was my first experience with a residential retreat, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I immediately felt comfortable in the peaceful atmosphere of the retreat center. The retreat program worked magic on my attitude and outlook by providing me mindfulness skills that I could put into practice right then and there. The word transformative may be overused, but it is spot-on! - Doll, Maryland
