To collectively create a preventive care movement globally, Happily Ever After is on a mission to activate Care Spaces in as many communities as possible.

Care Spaces are intentional areas of time, to check in on your community’s health and well-being.

The act of care can be as simple as listening, being kind, showing gratitude, or motivating one another to cultivate healthier habits. Yet, these small acts of care are often overshadowed by ‘busy-ness’.

Care as a basic need

The simple presence of an intentional space to care for one another works wonders… it acts as a gentle nudge and continuous reminder to fellow collaborators to participate in reciprocal altruism.

Care is about mutual flourishing

Truly caring for another is more than “putting yourself in someone’s shoes” because it takes great courage, is responsibility bearing and needs mutual trust. Interestingly, genuine care is about respecting self (taking care of oneself first), and in turn, allowing others to do so.

How do Care Spaces work?

• Care Spaces are stewarded by Healers from HEA’s network (About Healers).
• The steward is responsible for organizing programs to encourage self-care and mutual flourishing.
• The minimal requirement to steward a Care Space is to have experience coaching or facilitating groups. We also would like to train people to take on the Healer role within their own communities.
• Healers and members of the Care Space get access to Vital — a software to check in on their community’s collective state and get access to resources, programs and a support group.
• If you don’t wish to be a Healer, just request a Care Space and we’ll get in touch.
• The cost of running a Care Space depends on the size of your community — let’s discuss!

If your community needs a Care Space, let us know.

You may also send an anonymous tip and we’ll try our best to make it happen for you and your fellow co-workers.
