Maximizing the experience for donation and transplant professionals
Education, support, and deep connection to the mission.
As nurses, we have dedicated 20 years of service to the donation and transplant community. We have found that it is difficult to find supportive resources that are unique to the challenges we face in this work. It is a form of service like no other, and we are here to be on the forefront of innovation for this community and close this gap.
Our program is centered around fostering emotional well-being, strength and resiliency. We speak the truth that is often unspoken in hopes to create comfort in knowing you are not alone. In every layer of an organization, there is a need for support and we tailor our training to meet your needs.

“We feel lucky to have connected with Kelly and Sara from Guardians of the Gift. Working in donation is truly a gift but in these tumultuous times it is impossible to overlook the challenges employees face while carrying out this important mission.
Carving out a space for conversation, shared learning and practicing tangible applications of skills was monumental for our advanced clinical teams. The staff received skills that support their own resilience and learned the importance of their role in recognizing stress responses in onsite coordinators and how to communicate in a way that helps with nervous system coregulation.
My team was open-minded about the ‘physical’ activities we did in the workshop and gave positive feedback overall. I was able to see a positive shift in some team members right away. I look forward to building out future training and growth opportunities with GOG and believe that anyone in a leadership role should acquire the skills they teach.”
