Why this matters: NGOs and CBOs often work closely with crisis, inequality, grief, and social conflict every day. Over time, this can lead to internal emotional fatigue, burnout, internal strain, and care becoming reduced to urgency and survival. Teams navigating questions of gender, disability, caste, queerness, or community-based work also require spaces where they themselves can pause, reflect, process, and feel supported. Building healthier internal cultures is essential not only for individual wellbeing, but also for sustaining meaningful and ethical social work over time.
