Who Does Jubilee Serve?

At Jubilee Counseling and Wellness, we understand that we are all whole people and we all need support.  It’s for this reason that Jubilee offers products and services for people of all ages! Our focus is to make connection and caring for the self and others joyful and accessible.  One of the way that Jubilee aims to do this is by aiding in the prevention and/or repair burnout.  Burnout is a physical and mental exhaustion that is a common result of prolonged stress that can also cause increase or worsening symptoms associated with illnesses.  In addition to our regular services, we also offer special care and attention to a few groups of people who are more likely to experience burnout as a result of life stressors: Caregivers, Caregivers & children, Healers, and Black & Brown folks.

Caregivers

Often when we take responsibility for the care of someone else, we can neglect our own needs. It can feel isolating and disempowering. These play- and art-based groups are designed to help you reconnect with yourself and the parts of yourself that have been pushed to the side.  The group setting offers a space to connect with other people who may have similar experiences as you to provide opportunities for you to offer and receive support.

Who is considered a caregiver?

If you are responsible for the health and well-being of another person, this service may be for you.  A caregiver may be a parent/grandparent/other relative in active custody of a child, an adult child caring for an aging/sick/disabled parent, childcare or adultcare providers, or otherwise similar roles.

If you have questions about this service, contact me for more information.

“I was no longer in mom mode …
and that allowed me to be myself.”
– Caregiver Group Participant

“This idea is so transformational, I think especially for moms. I struggle with forgetting I’m in there. I think a lot of moms do. That day definitely helped restore something in me.

– Caregiver Group Participant

“I left the experience feeling lighter,
as well as more joyful and more grateful!”

Caregivers and Children

Part of caring for children is creating and maintaining a strong connection.  Sometimes the work of caring for children and the pressure of appearing to be a good caregiver can take away from the fun of just being with children.  These play- and art-based groups are designed to strengthen the connection between a caregiver and child in a low-pressure environment while moving and creating.  The group setting allows caregivers and children to connect with others as well.

Who is considered a caregiver?

A caregiver may be a parent/grandparent/other relative in regular contact and care of, or in active custody of, a child.

“I thought the adult play with children was just for the children at first. Before long, I found myself playing the games I wanted to play while the children found other games and people with which to interact. This liberated me to express my playful side and I didn’t care as much about keeping things under control internally and externally with my children.”
– Caregiver and Child Group Participant

“It made me question why I don’t play more often because when I play, I don’t care about getting things wrong and I don’t worry as much.”
– Caregiver and Child Group Participant

“Doing the play session with JaVon was so therapeutic. We arrived at the park in a group, and at first, I felt a little self-conscious to enter into play in a silly and fun way. But before long we were all hula hooping and hopscotching with abandon. It was an opportunity to practice childlike joy with others. Afterwards, I felt refreshed, and I would definitely join in on another session.
– Caregiver and Child Group Participant

Healers

Healers

In holding space for others and meeting our regular life responsibilities, sometimes we have to be intentional about nourishing ourselves.  These groups provide space for healing professionals to care for themselves through movement, creating and rest.  The group setting also allows for connection with other healers in a non-professional setting.

Who is considered a healer?

If you are providing healing space in mental or physical healthcare, this group may be for you.  Healers may include mental health providers, nurses, physicians, massage therapists, or similar roles.

If you have questions about this service, contact me for more information.

“I felt like I met up with my childhood friends and we lived our best play life! This was just the event I needed to release tension, share and receive joy. Highly recommended, and I am looking forward to attending future events.

– Healer Group Participant

“This is the first time I’ve felt comfortable in a social setting since before the pandemic.  Tonight I got a chance to be a kid again. Forget the stress and worries and just play. Hopscotch,  4 square, hula hoop….it was everything I needed.”

– Healer Group Participant

“Meeting to play broke down barriers…Walls came down, conversation came organically, everyone was included, and people naturally worked together…”
– Healer Group Participant

Black and Brown Folks (BIPOC)

In addition to regular life stressors, Black, Indigenous and other People of Color face identity-based stressors throughout their lives that have been shown to increase the risk and impact of mental and physical illness.  Our healthcare and mental healthcare systems were designed using dominant groups as the “norm,” and often fail to account for cultural and societal differences impacting the lived experiences of People of Color. These spaces are designed to offer reprieve from these stressors.

Who is considered Black and Brown/BIPOC?

These spaces are reserved for people who identify as Black, Indigenous, or other People of Color.  This includes folks who identify as mixed-race, multiracial, or multiethnic.

If you have questions about this service, contact me for more information.

“I really value that time that I had to play because it excited me in ways that I have not been excited organically in a long time. And it made me question why I don’t play more often because when I play, I don’t care about getting things wrong and I don’t worry as much.

– BIPOC Group Participant

“It was a great way to connect, explore, be silly, laugh, relieve stress and most importantly to be our playful, encouraging and loving selves – free of judgement. Play is restorative y’all – don’t miss an opportunity to simply play and be. Y’all know I don’t!”

– BIPOC Group Participant
