“In the hectic, uncertain, and often fast paced day to day, investing in mental health and overall wellness is critical. Partnering with Mezzo Solutions allows our helpers to focus on self-care. Having the opportunity to dissect different components of self-care has cultivated a holistic approach for those serving our youth. Being aware of our own needs help prevent burnout creating opportunities for relationships to form and therefore creating optimal programming outcomes.”
