Everyday Mindfulness & Self-Compassion
In this interactive workshop, we will practice self-compassion and mindfulness concepts and skills that can help us tune in and care for ourselves in an ever changing world. We will focus on brief, practical skills that participants can weave into their day to support their own well-being and relationships, including their work with children and families. The content presented will be from REAL Pro – Resilient Attitudes & Living for Professionals.
