Don’t Clock Out is a peer support community created out of a dire need for acknowledging and addressing the moral toll of caring for people within systems of harm.

Read our Shared Community Commitments

Our mission is to accompany healthcare workers as they navigate the deeply human work of caring for others.

Our community offers weekly virtual peer support groups led by healthcare workers.


We engage in public advocacy through ethical storytelling and moral distress education.


Our work functions as a safety net solution, holding the complexity of suicide and building networks of care.


Our support groups are donation based, no one turned away for lack of funds. Consider donating to keep our work sustainable.

Peer Support Group and Event Calendar

At the center of the design are two healthcare workers in conversation.

Surrounding them, the heart and brain symbolizing emotional and intellectual connection, each person feeling seen and understood on multiple levels.

Branches extend from the heart and neurons from the brain, meeting in the middle to represent how, through shared human experiences, we can connect, support one another, empathize, and grow together.

Don't Clock Out's merch line has finally arrived, in collaboration with Artery Ink!

What healthcare workers are saying

Caring for patients begins with caring for ourselves and each other.

  • That was such a good peer support call today. Everyone had a lot to bring to the call, and the issues were so relevant to this week.

  • I continue to attend the Don't Clock Out support groups—not just for my own well-being but also to offer encouragement and guidance to others who, like me, once felt lost.

  • These calls help in so many ways. Above all, it’s empowering to share with others in the field who are coping with moral injury.

  • Thank you for having an online group that was able to be my safe space. When your online group started I was dealing with burnout and had to take a LOA. Your group was one of my first stepping stones to healing.

How can you help? Donate to fund a peer support group!

Your donation to Don't Clock Out directly supports our mission to  accompany healthcare workers in navigating deeply human work.

With your generosity, we are able to provide:

  • Weekly Peer Support Groups: Our peer support groups offer healthcare workers a safety net outside of their workplaces and institutions and a community that deeply understands.

  • Short Film Distribution:  Our first documentary short film highlighting the toll of moral distress in healthcare is meant to impact meaningful change through collective truth, demanding accountability from harmful systems and imagining a new way forward.

In community, we can begin to meaningfully address the mental health crisis in care.
