Description

This relational self-care workshop is designed to help behavioral health professionals identify and ameliorate the cumulative effects of environmental, situational and interpersonal factors that can cause stress (e.g., uncomfortable climate, uncontrollable noise, perceived disrespect). Participants will learn mindfulness techniques informed by cultural healing practices which they can share with their clients that will focus on breath, lowering heart rate, and increasing feelings of connection. An experiential component will include the use of these techniques as part of our self-care.
