Before joining a live group room, you will enter your alias and confirm your device’s audio settings. The moderator will be leading the session prompting questions and facilitating group conversation. You will be camera off and may engage with the group via chat or your device’s microphone. Moderators may mute participants if there’s disruptive background noise, but only you can unmute yourself; you share on your terms. Our live groups are NOT recorded to maintain your privacy and ensure a safe space where you are free to share.

We have a variety of live group types to choose from, such as our 15-minute “Listen in” groups as well as “Skill builder” and “Support” groups.

Cabana connects healthcare professionals from across the country around shared issues and areas for self-improvement in mental wellness. We assemble and professionally moderate support groups for physicians, nurses, frontline staff, and employees across the healthcare system.

Our moderators are the friendly faces on-screen facilitating the live groups in Cabana. They are experienced professionals and often have real-world experience to the types of groups they are moderating.

Absolutely not. Your data is private, and your employer will not know if you signed up for a Cabana account or what live groups you attend or the content you access.

If you are concerned about your voice being recognized in the discussion, you can adjust your voice using the microphone adjustment button on your toolbar. Just remember that we can’t filter out any specific names that you might mention in the room so take note of how you bring something up to the group.
