What We Do
3 Essential Connections, also referred to as 3EC is a professional development training for stress mitigation. 3EC is a program of Toivo. 
Preventing compassion fatigue and burnout is necessary to the sustainability of the work you do. This educational and experiential program was created as Toivo’s professional development program: a holistic approach to managing the personal and professional stressors that often weigh us down. By connecting with ourselves, others, and nature we can navigate our daily stressors with more ease and find ways to build self-resiliency. This training explores various self-care techniques that can be practically implemented into our routines at work and home.
3EC is more than just a training, it’s a declaration and a commitment to a new way of being. By embarking on this journey you are renouncing the message woven into our societal fabric that tell us that stress, burnout and endless doing are not only a natural part of everyday life, but also badges of honor we must don in the pursuit of success. In choosing this training, you are challenging the belief that self-care is selfish and acknowledging that a solid and healthy connection with yourself is the foundation for everything else that you do.
