Mindfulness and Stress Resilience For Peers in Crisis Settings
2024-06-11 09:00 - 13:30 | Zoom
Training Overview:
In this training we will investigate what stress is and how it can negatively affect the body and mind. We will consider how stress can lead to physical illness, anxiety, and even burnout. We will then shift our attention to proven mindfulness skills to alleviate the debilitating aspects of stress. We will look at how altering our perspective can positively affect our ability to cope.
Mindfulness training has been shown to be one of the most effective ways to reduce distress, improve the quality of our emotional fitness, and even alter the structure and function of the brain.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to our moment-to-moment experience with acceptance and curiosity without resisting it or embellishing it. Much of our stress occurs when we let our minds run on autopilot, which can lead to rumination and worry. Through simple practices, mindfulness can improve our emotional resilience and strengthen our capacity to respond skillfully to life’s challenges.
You will learn:

The short- and long-term effects of stress on the mind and body.
How the mind can exacerbate distress.
Research that supports mindfulness as an intervention for chronic stress.
Skills to move from unconsciously reacting to consciously responding to stress.
Formal practices such as yoga, meditation, and the body scan that increase resilience.
Small ways to release stress throughout the day.

According to Peer Reviewed Research, Regular Mindfulness Practice:

Reduces stress, anxiety, and depression.
Improves sleep, focus, and attention.
Reduces symptoms of chronic illness and pain.
Increases confidence and self-acceptance.

What’s Included:

Introduction to Mindfulness for Stress Resilience Participant Handbook PDF.

Mindfulness and the Science of Habit Change
2024-05-28 09:00 - 16:30 | Zoom
We are creatures of habit. Research shows that more than 40% of the things we do each day are not decisions but habits. In this training, we’ll start by looking at what habits are and then tackle the ways mindfulness can help us cultivate habits of wellbeing and break habits that are holding us back.
Mindfulness is a powerful tool to help us recognize and step out of autopilot. With mindfulness we can learn to use our knowledge of habit formation to create the habits we want and let go of the habits that aren’t serving us.
Would you like to lessen or eliminate things like constantly checking social media, procrastinating, overeating, or smoking? How about beginning or strengthening habits like eating well, meditating, or listening deeply? This training may be for you.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Describe the habit loop of positive and negative reinforcement.
Practice mindfulness meditation.
Discuss BJ Fog’s ABCs of Positive Habit Change.
Explain how mindfulness can help us step out of autopilot.
Discuss how mindfulness approaches can help change unhelpful habit patterns.
Build healthy habits into your life.

Scientific research has consistently demonstrated that mindfulness:

Reduces stress, anxiety, and depression.
Improves sleep and reduces symptoms of chronic illness.
Improves confidence and self-acceptance.

Meeting Difficult Emotions: Rewiring Your Brain for Happiness for Peers in Crisis Settings
2024-05-07 09:00 - 13:30 | Zoom
$25 Registration Fee. Eligible for 4 MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. Please see this link for flyer and registration.
We evolved to have a negativity bias. It’s been hardwired since we were in caves to save us from predators. Today, however, many of the lions and tigers in our lives are created by our thoughts and
emotions. As Mark Twain once said, “I have had many catastrophes in my life, most of which never happened.” – Mark Twain
To create happiness, and happiness first, we must find healthy ways to work with our challenging thoughts and emotions. We’ll begin this workshop by discussing different strategies to defuse
difficult emotions and learn practices to bring us back to balance. In the second part of this workshop, we will learn methods to rebalance our nervous system and rewire our brains for a more positive outlook.

Challenging Relationships & Caregiver Fatigue for Peers in Crisis Settings
2024-04-30 09:00 - 13:30 | Zoom
Eligible for 4 MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. $25 Registration Fee
Relationships can be difficult. In this class you will learn about two different types of relational pain: the pain of disconnection and the pain of connection.
The pain of disconnection is something we are all familiar with. Our first reaction to conflict with family, colleagues, or acquaintances is often anger, resentment, and emotional distancing. These difficult emotions often conceal more subtle emotions and unmet needs that we didn’t realize were there.
The other type of relational discomfort, the pain of connection, can occur in caregiving situations simply because we are human. We are hardwired to connect, cooperate, and nurture one another. This makes our lives rich and rewarding but can also make us vulnerable to the empathic distress of feeling the suffering of others as our own.
Mindfulness and compassion skills can help us work with the discomfort caused by both types of relational pain.

Living Deeply – Discovering Your Values for Peers in Crisis Settings
2024-04-23 09:00 - 13:30 | Zoom
Eligible for 4 MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. $25 Registration Fee.
As we live with more mindfulness and self-compassion, life begins to look different. We start to see the importance of living authentically from a place of alignment with our values. We might
feel the impulse to embark on a journey to discover what is most important to us.
Along the way, we may also uncover internal and external obstacles that get in the way of our emotional health. This process can be fertile ground for growth if we can see these challenges
through the eyes of mindfulness and self-kindness.
In this class, we will review the principles of mindfulness and self-compassion and investigate how they can support us in living more deeply. Through guided reflection and writing, we will examine our values and explore stumbling blocks that get in the way of living our best life. We will reflect on a difficult time from the past to see how it might hold important lessons and see what we can learn by sharing our stories with others.

Motivating Yourself with Kindness Instead of Criticism for Peers in Crisis Settings
2024-04-16 09:00 - 13:30 | Zoom
Eligible for 4 MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. $25 Registration Fee.
When we first sense the need to make a change, our impulse is often to respond negatively and criticize ourselves. We go over all the things we’ve done wrong and how we should have done
them differently. But that’s a poor strategy for creating meaningful change—research shows that instead, we are much more likely to get results through kindness and encouragement.
In this class we will review the principles of self-compassion and then learn the practice of loving-kindness to cultivate an open and loving heart. Next, we’ll examine how mindfulness, loving-kindness, and compassion go hand in hand and yet differ from each other in many ways. In this training, students will explore self-criticism, why it is so pervasive, and how it often sabotages our attempts to change. Last, we’ll investigate how care for oneself and self-kindness are effective approaches to positive transformation.

Introduction to Self-Compassion for Peers in Crisis Settings
2024-04-09 09:00 - 13:30 | Zoom
Eligible for 4 MDHHS Continuing Education Credits. $25 Registration Fee.
Self-Compassion is the practice of befriending ourselves just the way we are. It gives us strategies to live fully through both the joys and the sorrows of our lives. It reminds us that all human beings struggle, and we are not alone. It is a powerful tool for emotional resilience that teaches us to support ourselves with kindness and compassion instead of harshness and self-criticism.
In this class we will explore why mindfulness is the foundation of self-compassion and how we can leverage these practices to live happier and more productive lives.
In peer-reviewed studies, Mindful Self-Compassion has been shown to significantly increase compassion for self and others as well as life satisfaction. It has also been shown to decrease depression, anxiety, and stress.
