Alive and Well For 5 is a campaign designed to create a common understanding about the healing power of self-care. Alive and Well understands that self-care is an essential strategy in building community and organizational well-being. On May 15 at 10:15 a.m. CST and throughout the day, everyone participating in the campaign will take a brief 5-minute pause wherever they are, to practice personal self-care, looking inward to move forward.

We all have the opportunity to help ease the impacts of trauma in those around us, but we can only do so if we are well. Within the task of supporting your community, it is important to stop and ask, “how am I supporting myself” or “how does self-care look for me?” In your day-to-day push, have you ever thought to yourself “If I just had a moment to recharge? Create your own self-care clock and discover how self-care looks for you. Take a pause to continue your cause.
