Teaching Mindfulness to Youth: A Summer Training Intensive for Educators & Mental Health Clinicians - August 3 & 4, 2021

We encourage you to attend our fourth annual two-day summer institute, in-person, surround-ed by trees in a beautiful, lakeside setting. With the support of nature, program faculty, and like-minded peers, you will be inspired to leave behind the challenging year of changing schedules and pandemic stress, and come away with new skills to feel better prepared for the upcoming fall. This training will offer you beginning experience and confidence to facilitate mindfulness practices with children and youth.

During this training, you will bolster your own resilience by:
• renewing your personal practice of mindfulness
• learning powerful mindfulness activities to bring to youth to help them better understand themselves and be their “best selves”. 
​
​Program faculty will focus on modeling how to teach mindfulness practices that facilitate emotion regulation, attention and social connection, from a trauma sensitive lens. You will have time to explore leading formal practices of body awareness, mindful breathing, mindful listening, labeling emotions, kindness and self-compassion in breakouts with your peers, using age-appropriate scripts. You will also learn how to integrate mindfulness skills by inserting small moments of awareness during a class period, a therapeutic encounter or a school day.  Read more HERE about our event FAQ's and COVID protocol.​
