A practice you can hand to anyone
Counselors carry an enormous range of people through their door — students, parents, partners, employees, parishioners. Fika Pause is a free, gentle daily practice you can recommend across that whole range without worrying about the right app, the right plan, or the right diagnosis.
Why Fika Pause benefits counselors
- Universally accessible — free, web-based, and welcoming to first-time users
- Non-clinical — no diagnoses required, no risk of crossing scope of practice
- Reinforces themes you already work in: gratitude, presence, connection, hospitality
- Comes with printable materials so the recommendation lives past the conversation
How Fika Pause can be used
- Recommend to students or congregants as a 'try one small thing this week' practice
- Use Conversation Starters in group sessions or peer-mentoring programs
- Suggest to families as a shared daily ritual around the dinner table
- Offer to colleagues and staff as an opt-in personal wellbeing practice
Suggested implementation ideas
- Keep printed recommendation cards in your office and group rooms
- Use a Fika Pause prompt to open or close a group session
- Add to your aftercare or graduation packet as a continuing practice
- Pair with grief, recovery, or transition support as a daily anchor
