A Unique Approach to Self-Care for Professionals

We've all been there. The exhaustion after a long day, the stress of a daunting week ahead, and the unending juggle between personal and professional life. But for those in public service, these feelings aren't just occasional—they're an everyday reality.

Hello, wonderful backers and potential supporters! We are NativeSELF CARE Behavioral Management Solutions, our passion lies in building new platforms and pathways to well-being at work.

Join us in recognizing the individuals who are cultivating wellness at work and making a positive impact in their communities in October. Nominate someone extraordinary for The ART Appreciation Timepiece Awards for helping to normalize well-being at work and in the community.

Our Why

We're living in transformative times. Stress, anxiety, and burnout aren't just words—they're real experiences affecting real people, especially those working in public services. These individuals give their all, day in and day out, to serve communities, educate our youth, and heal the sick. Isn't it time we give back to them?

The Gap We're Bridging

We're on a mission of representation:

To tell the stories of how we are collectively contributing to minding the mental health and wellness gap for these tireless heroes of our communities and recognizing their efforts and story's in a sensory art gallery experience. This isn't just another event. It's a movement to, "normalize wellness at work" through business, art, employee well-being and positive employer branding. With your support, we'll be able to provide the full sensorial event experience and celebration.

The ART Appreciation Timepiece Award

With your support awardees will be given a custom watch to honor and signify how impactful it is when someone offers or uses their time in support of another's well-being, not just their own.
