Guidelines for participation
Please read below our guidelines for participation in our weekly support groups
Who these groups are intended for:
These peer support groups are intentionally designed for interdisciplinary healthcare workers, mental health workers and care workers who wish to participate directly—whether by listening quietly, speaking up, joining on camera, or sharing in the chat.
What to expect in each support group: One to Two facilitators (who work in healthcare or the mental health field) will hold space for conversations related to navigating moral distress in healthcare.
Each session is one hour. These sessions are remote and take place online using zoom.
Group is meant to offer a space outside of the workplace to connect with healthcare professionals with similar, shared lived experiences.
Our shared goal is to disrupt lateral violence, shame and isolation through intentional vulnerability.
Group is confidential and should not be shared with anyone outside the group.
Group is intended to be a space for reflection on feelings related to working in healthcare and navigating moral distress.
Group is not intended to solely be a space to vent.
Group is not intended replace therapy.
Group is peer led and not group therapy.
Group is not a clinical or educational space for observation unless a facilitator has offered written consent.
Students are welcome to attend for support, not as an assignment for any educational or clinical program experience.
Group is meant to be a space removed from any and all institutional or state regulatory bodies.
Group is not a space for solicitation of any kind.
Group is not a crisis line: If you or someone you know is in crisis, please use a phone to text HOME to 741741, the Crisis Text Line pairs you with a crisis counselor to provide ongoing support and direction towards resources.
Additional resources: THRIVE Lifeline: Non-carceral crisis, warmline, and group support, centering multiply marginalized communities. Fully grassroots. Built by and for community.
If you are interested in learning more about these groups or would like to observe in a non-participatory role, please reach out to us at info@dontclockout.org
Our shared intentions for participants: To feel safe, have agency, expand knowledge to recognize and navigate moral distress, and to be in community knowing you are not alone in your experiences.

Peer Support Programs
If you are a member of an organization and feel that you need more external support, Don’t Clock Out offers healthcare worker-led Peer Support groups, training and consulting.
We bring a lens of lived experience as healthcare workers navigating institutional betrayal and moral distress. We know healthcare workers need more support and we hope to build on existing infrastructure.
We don’t aim to tell healthcare workers what they need. Bring us in if you feel we could offer meaningful support. Reach out with any inquiries at info@dontclockout.org
