SUMMARY:Mindfulness and Stress Resilience For Peers in Crisis Settings
DESCRIPTION:Training Overview: \nIn 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. \nMindfulness 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. \nWhat is Mindfulness? \nMindfulness 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. \nYou will learn: \n\nThe short- and long-term effects of stress on the mind and body.\nHow the mind can exacerbate distress.\nResearch that supports mindfulness as an intervention for chronic stress.\nSkills to move from unconsciously reacting to consciously responding to stress.\nFormal practices such as yoga\, meditation\, and the body scan that increase resilience.\nSmall ways to release stress throughout the day.\n\nAccording to Peer Reviewed Research\, Regular Mindfulness Practice: \n\nReduces stress\, anxiety\, and depression.\nImproves sleep\, focus\, and attention.\nReduces symptoms of chronic illness and pain.\nIncreases confidence and self-acceptance.\n\nWhat’s Included: \n\nIntroduction to Mindfulness for Stress Resilience Participant Handbook PDF.\nLinks to audio and video practices.\n\nTrainer: \nCarol Hendershot\, RYT 500\nCertified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Instructor\nCo-Founder\, Grand Rapids Center for Mindfulness \nCarol has been teaching the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) since 2008 and has led hundreds of students through the program.
