​​Stay Grounded FAQs

What is this exactly?

The Stay Grounded Initiative is a program that takes a holistic approach to the mental health and well-being of the hourly coffee worker. We started with offering 3-month vouchers to TalkSpace, but in 2021 we are moving to 6-month vouchers through Open Path to allow for more flexibility for the hourly coffee worker. We are also adding mindfulness education, and yoga classes, as well as the Get Psyched initiative, a program to help hourly coffee workers get help with psychotherapeutic care.  

The Stay Grounded Initiative is closed until 2021. Please sign up for our newsletter  to get more information as to when it opens up again.

Who can apply?

The Stay Grounded Initiative is open to all hourly coffee professionals who have worked in coffee in the past 12 months. For our therapy program, we are reserving 50% of the slots for People of Color.

​We also are going to give 75% of the vouchers to hourly coffee professionals that are currently working and 25% to folks that are not working at this time. 

What if I don't want to disclose my racial identity?

You don't have to, that question is completely optional.

​How will the people who get the vouchers be selected?

The selections will be made via a randomized lottery.

When will the applications open/close?

Applications are currently closed, but we are planning to open up applications for a revamped therapy program this summer. We also plan on launching our yoga/mindfulness programs in Q3 of 2021 and doing more with Get Psyched in late Q3 2021.

​Please sign up for our newsletter  to get more information as to when it opens up again.

What will the applications be like?

​We are going to ask for your name, some (optional) demographic information, and whether or not you are employed.
