This is in many respects a good article about orienting self-care around taking care of each other rather than "the very wellness efforts that organizations create, with their slate of classes and mobile apps, can become subtle forms of abandonment in the guise of support." A strength of the article is the argument showing that "when groups frame distress or adversity as a collective rather than individual problem, the resulting communal coping strategies bolster genuine connection and better recovery." I get that, and I appreciate that. But there is something subversive, I think, about aligning your self-help community as your work community. My communities - much like most people's, I would imagine - are centred around friends and family, activities I enjoy. The people I work with I work with; the problems we face together are work problems.
