Calming Down #1: How Both You and Your Clients Can Benefit from Workplace Mindfulness
Our work lives are full of demands and tasks that can make us feel stressed—and not just a little, but a lot. According to research, around 40% of the US workforce report feeling significant stress in the workplace. This stress has adverse effects our health and personal well-being, not to mention our performance and productivity.
One antidote is to cultivate a mindfulness practice in the workplace. For those of us who work with children, youth, and families, mindfulness practice is a two-fer, because we can introduce and support these same practices with our clients.
This webinar will focus on teaching a few mindfulness practices that will help you manage your own stress in your daily work, and that you can teach to your children, youth and families.
Learning Objectives:
-
Learn several mindfulness activities and why they work.
-
Practice and reflect on the mindfulness activities and discuss how you might implement them in your workplace.
-
Learn practical ways to teach these mindfulness activities to the children and youth with whom you work
