Calming Down: How Both You & Your Clients Can Benefit from Workplace Mindfulness

Live Webinar on February 28th, 2019 from 1-2:00 p.m. EST courtesy of Youth Catalytics

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 twofer, 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 activities and discuss how you might implement them in your workplace.
• Learn practical ways to teach mindfulness activities to the children and youth with whom you work.
