Helping helpers protect their energy.
We nurture sustainable caring. Using evidence-based tools developed by Founder, Social Worker and Psychotherapist, Kathleen Foldvari, we promote stronger, healthier team functioning one minute at a time. Each strategy is designed to be easy to incorporate into even the busiest schedules.
Welcome to the A Minute for Mental Health community!
We believe that caring for others should never come at the cost of your own wellbeing. A Minute for Mental Health was born from the experience of seeing helpers—teachers, social workers, healthcare providers, parents—burn out while giving everything they had. We wanted to create something different: practical, research-informed tools that fit into real workdays, support self-reflection, and strengthen emotional regulation, without adding more to your plate.
Our resources are designed to help you pause, notice, and reconnect—small moments that create lasting impact. Because as we like to say, “Awareness is the seed, reflection is the water.” Each tool encourages observation, understanding, and connection, making it easier to care for others while caring for yourself.
We’re here to support your work, your team, and your community—because when helpers are supported, everyone benefits.

The Team Wellness Check is a 10-minute leadership self-assessment designed to help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface of your team.
Most leaders sense when something feels off—more tension, less energy, quiet disengagement—but don’t always have a clear way to name it or respond. This tool helps you pause, reflect, and identify early signs of stress and burnout before they turn into bigger problems.
Using simple language and trauma-informed prompts, the Team Wellness Check guides you through:
spotting early warning signs of team burnout
understanding how workload, communication, and leadership style affect morale
identifying what your team needs most right now
choosing small, realistic next steps that actually fit into busy workdays
This isn’t about fixing people or blaming leadership. It’s about building awareness, strengthening connection, and creating healthier, more sustainable ways of working—one small check-in at a time.
Ideal for teams, department-leaders, and business owners who care about wellbeing but need practical, doable tools.
I offer a comprehensive 1-hour leadership consultation where we explore your team's challenges through a trauma-informed lens, identifying the underlying causes of stress and misalignment, using this completed guide as a template. Within 7 days, you'll receive a customized Team Wellness Roadmap with practical, 5–15 minute strategies your team can begin implementing immediately.
This isn’t another parenting guide full of advice. You already carry enough voices telling you what you should be doing.
This workbook gives you something most moms don’t get: a quiet place to pause and check in with yourself.
Use it in whatever way works for you. Start anywhere. Skip pages. Write a lot or just read the prompts and think. There’s no right way to use it and no pressure to finish it.
Inside the 60-page workbook you’ll find practical tools you can return to on hard days or busy weeks:
Reflection prompts that help you name what you’re feeling instead of carrying it alone
Simple grounding exercises you can use when stress, overwhelm, or guilt starts to take over
Self check-ins that help you slow down and reconnect with what you need
Local support resources so you know where to turn if you need more help
Gentle reminders that feeling stretched, tired, or uncertain does not mean you’re failing
Motherhood asks a lot of you. This workbook gives something back.
It won’t remove the hard days. But it will sit beside you in them. A place to steady yourself, sort through your thoughts, and remember you don’t have to carry everything alone.
You don’t need extra time. You don’t need the perfect routine.
Just a few quiet minutes, a pen, and a place to land.
This also makes a thoughtful gift for a mom who is holding a lot right now.
