For counselors, psychologists, therapists, and coaches, and for every other helping professional: first responders, firefighters, law enforcement, nurses, dispatchers, chaplains, hospice workers, and everyone who carries other people's worst days home.
Private and undocumented. We keep no notes, and nothing is reported to your employer.
A conversation. A story. A person's pain.
These are the moments we carry home.
E.V.E. is a forty-five-minute listening call with a Listening Companion. Not because you cannot handle what you carry, but because caring deeply requires moments of release. Just as the body must breathe out before it can breathe in again, the heart and mind need room to release what they hold, before it becomes too heavy.
"What would you like to talk about today?" You choose what to share. No preparing, no need for the right words.
Say what has been sitting with you. Your Listening Companion offers presence and a nonjudgmental ear, not solutions.
As the conversation continues, many people notice the weight shifting.
Back to the work only you can do. Seen. Respected. Renewed. Strengthened.
No memberships required, no intake forms, no clinical questions. Book, talk, breathe.
The full conversation: release, room to breathe, and someone who has done the job on the other end of the line.
For working through a hard stretch rather than a hard day.
For a hard season: a new hospice assignment, a loss on the job, a caregiving year.
Release as a practice, not a rescue. Two standing calls a month, booked in advance, cancel anytime. Emotional hygiene, kept up the way you keep up everything else.
Prepaid call blocks for fire departments, hospice and home health agencies, dispatch centers, hospitals, and church networks. One decision-maker, one purchase order, no procurement cycle.
The cost of a single registered nurse resignation. This program pays for itself if it keeps one person.
of public health workers used their EAP during the worst crisis of their careers. Not pride: access. E.V.E. is the call they actually pick up.
The average first-responder PTSD claim in California, 4.5 times any other claim. This is loss control, not a perk.
Your people stay invisible. Reporting is aggregate-only, with a minimum group size, so no roster of who called can ever exist.
Inez has spent her life walking alongside people during their most difficult moments, on scenes, in stations, and at bedsides. A former firefighter and EMT who went on to serve as a crisis response board member, she now serves as chaplain to both a police department and a fire department.
She has also trained for the weight this work carries: she is CISM certified, a certified grief educator, a certified grief coach, and a mental health coach.
That matters here. The people E.V.E. serves are rightly skeptical of anyone who has not done the job. Inez has. She is not a colleague, not a supervisor, and not a clinician taking notes. She is the outsider who is an insider, and she is here to listen.
E.V.E. keeps no notes, builds no file, and reports nothing to your employer. And it is honest about its limits:
A listening space, designed to support the people who regularly support others.
Every conversation begins the same way. Inez opens with one question: “What would you like to talk about today?” The forty-five minutes are a chance to talk through what has been weighing on you, or simply to think out loud with someone who listens.
