Webinar November 30, 2021
Simple Tools for Healing and Well-Being
In this interactive workshop, participants will learn the science of how to reverse stress response and acquire skills to calm the brain, release physical tension, regulate emotions and promote healing and well-being. Participants will learn several mind-body practices that work with the brain-body from the top-down and the bottom-up to build resilience and reset the nervous system. These evidence-based techniques, which are appropriate for diverse populations and adaptable for all ages, are being used in a wide range of community and therapeutic settings including schools and after-school programs, parenting programs, clinics and hospitals, corporations, insurance companies, juvenile facilities, prison systems, chemical dependency programs and the armed forces. Organizations are also integrating these tools into staff wellness initiatives to prevent burn-out, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.
Learning Objectives:
Demonstrate three skills to help regulate emotions and buffer the effects of stress.
Provide two examples of how you can integrate these tools into your organization and/or daily practices.
List two resources for simple tools to calm and focus the brain, release physical tension and reset the autonomic nervous system.
Free for members / $25 for non-members
