Lavender Cart

The Lavender Cart is a tool that is used to support employees when a stressful event or series of stressful events occurs as part of the RISE (Resilience in Stressful Events) program. The Lavender Cart is a self-care cart on wheels that is deployed to healthcare areas experiencing high stress or trauma. The cart contains items for relaxation, creativity and snacks.

By request, the Lavender Cart comes to a department to offer support in the form of:

• Physical therapies (grounding or breathing exercises)
• Expressive arts (journaling or coloring)
• Anxiety reducing scents (lavender sachets, scented hand lotions)
• Healthy snacks
• Additional emotional support

To help support the Lavender Cart's efforts, please donate via our Amazon wishlist. You can also support the Lavender Cart through our "You are Enough" T-shirt fundraiser.
