Revitalize Your Well-Being: Join Us for Self-Care September on I THRIVE!

As we dive into Self-Care September, we invite all Clarvida employees and prospective team members to join us on a month-long journey dedicated to nurturing our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Self-care isn’t just a personal journey—it’s an opportunity to strengthen our sense of community and support one another. We are excited to share an array of activities and resources designed to inspire self-care practices that you can carry well beyond September.

What is Self-Care September All About?

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing tips and activities focused on various aspects of self-care, including:

  • Physical Self-Care: Activities like exercise, healthy eating, and restful sleep that nourish your body.
  • Mental Self-Care: Stimulating your mind through hobbies, learning, and mindfulness.
  • Emotional Self-Care: Cultivating emotional resilience through journaling, therapy, or connecting with loved ones.
  • Spiritual & Energetic Self-Care: Enhancing your sense of purpose and inner peace through meditation, nature, and creative pursuits.


By engaging in these different areas of self-care, you’ll not only find balance but also build practices that foster long-term well-being.

Ways to Participate:

We’ve designed a variety of activities to help you personalize your self-care routine:

  1. Weekly Warm-ups: Jumpstart each week with focused self-care activities designed to rejuvenate you.
  2. Sharing is Caring: Share your experiences, tips, and progress with colleagues to inspire and support each other.
  3. Self-Care Journaling: Track your self-care journey in a journal throughout September. Reflect on your progress and share your insights at the end, if you choose.
  4. Community Rooms: Connect with peers in our Self-Care Community Rooms, where you can exchange tips, discuss what’s working for you, and gain inspiration from others. These are 60-minute open spaces for dialog and connection—you can come and go as you please!


These initiatives are a chance to engage in mindful self-care together, not just for the month, but with the goal of building sustainable habits for the future.

Join the Community Rooms
Our Self-Care Community Rooms offer a collaborative space where you can connect with your peers, share what’s working for you, and discuss ideas or tips you’ve practiced. The sessions will be hosted by Maria Huddleston, LCSW, our Director of Clinical and Community Operations in Colorado and the Training, Enrichment, and Development Leader at I THRIVE with Clarvida. Maria is also a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT), and she will lead these insightful discussions to foster community and well-being.

It’s available as a downloadable PDF, so you can use it to track your progress throughout the month.
  • Self-Care Group Activity Worksheet: Designed for team collaboration, this worksheet helps you explore self-care activities across various areas and encourages reflection on your current practices.

Strengthening Our Community Through Self-Care
We believe that participating in these self-care activities together, as a team, will not only enhance your personal well-being but also strengthen the sense of community at Clarvida. Taking time for self-care is an essential part of showing up as your best self—not only for you but also for your colleagues and the people we serve. Let’s make this September a month of rejuvenation and lasting positive change!
