Share & Care
Welcome to this inclusive space for sharing resources for our community. This is for you, your teams, and families as we collectively navigate these times and nurture each other. You’ll find professional and personal resources that focus on self-care and sustainability, productivity, connectivity, and positivity—on the job and at home (which may be the same physical place).
Please share this site and anything you find here freely and send additional ideas and resources to info@onesharedfuture.com. You can also sign up below to join our Share & Care email list. Take care of yourself as you take care of others.
Messages to our Community
May 31, 2020: We hope you've been enjoying the reflections, thoughts and appreciations included in our weekly messages over the past 2 months. As of June 1, OSF will be issuing its messages less frequently, without a regular timeline. We still have much to share and continue to send gratitude to those caring for our communities. There will be more to come so please keep an eye out for our Share & Care messages in the future. Mahalo and please take care.
