Empowering our team!
The Voyage Cares program is designed with our employees' mental health and well-being in mind.

VOYAGE CARES' VALUES
CARES values—Care, Awareness, Respect, Empowerment, and Solutions—are at the heart of our commitment to supporting our employees' mental well-being in long-term care.
Community
We prioritize a caring environment that acknowledges the emotional and mental demands of long-term care work.
Respect
We respect each person’s journey and create a nonjudgmental space where employees feel free to express their mental health needs. Our policies ensure that mental health issues are met with empathy, and we safeguard confidentiality and dignity in all interactions.
Solutions
Our commitment to solutions means we don’t just talk about mental health; we act on it with accessible, concrete support. Through tailored mental health plans, flexible schedules, and quick access to professional resources, we aim to provide practical solutions that meet real needs.
Awareness
Awareness is about recognizing and understanding the unique mental health needs of our employees. By promoting open dialogue, we equip our team with knowledge and tools to recognize signs of stress or burnout in themselves and others.
Empowerment
Empowerment involves giving employees the tools and confidence to prioritize their mental health. We provide resources such as wellness workshops, mindfulness training, and access to mental health professionals to empower individuals to manage stress effectively.

The Expert
Shettra Snowball
We want to introduce Shettra Snowball, our Voyage Cares Counselor. She began her career as a DHS Social Worker in 2009 with her life experiences driving her ambition. Shettra grew up being the person people came to for help and guidance during difficult situations. Her passion to encourage and motivate others fuels her ambition to be a mental health advocate and fight against the stigma surrounding it. She found her way to Voyage while working with our sister company, Signature Hospice. She joined them as a grief counselor to teach people how to overcome the loss of their loved ones.
When Voyage Cares was conceptualized, we knew she was the only person who could be the driving force behind our special cause. We're so thankful she decided to join us on this beautiful journey!
