Trail Breaker Wellness Services

Those of us in the caretaking professions are used to giving our all each day to those in our care. We work with patients who cannot advocate for themselves, and our passion is to advocate for them. We created the non profit Trail Breaker Wellness Services to help make sure you can keep doing this work, which the world so needs, by investing time in your own wellness and mental health.
