Casey Branson has her B.A. in Psychology and is currently a candidate for her M.A. in Outdoor Education and Leadership. She has 7 years of experience in the field of program design and delivery and hopes to facilitate healing for caregivers by creating meaningful connections between colleagues, nature, and place in a compassionate environment. Her experiences working in fields where compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma were an everyday part of the job led her down the path to assess how we can better support caregivers as individuals and communities.
About The Founder
Grounding Steppes is for caregivers and helping professionals
who bear witness to the suffering of others and are dissatisfied with systemic stress and their professional quality of life. We provide support for compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma in natural settings by creating programming that is reflective and experiential, focusing on restoring resilience within the individual, while in relationship with community and nature. Unlike isolated clinical appointments and one-way, one-time lectures, we work alongside you to plant enduring seeds of resilience within your organization and deliver lasting tools for individuals and communities to continue to nurture their growth. We have assembled a collection of programming choices that invite the participation of our full emotional selves while cultivating compassion and stewardship practices for trauma and the environment.
This is Grounding Steppes- restoring resilience for caregivers from the ground up.
Our Mission
We value community-building and operate with the utmost intentionality. Our mission is to compassionately connect professional caregivers with the natural environment in order to help them sustain their important work.
Grounding Steppes operates out of Tri-Cities, Washington.
