Family Engagement Session- Mindfulness for Caregivers

Mindfulness for Caregivers by Shanthi Project

Join us for a virtual training session, Mindfulness with Shanti Project – Part 2 on Wednesday, November 18th at 6:00 PM. Mindfulness increases focus, builds resilience, and strengthens our ability to respond rather than automatically react to our environment. In this training, we’ll explore simple mindfulness concepts and strategies for coping with stress and connecting with ourselves and others.

Shanthi Project is a 501(c)(3) education nonprofit providing evidence-based mindfulness services to more than 4,000 children and adults annually across the Greater Lehigh Valley and New Jersey. Committed for more than a decade to education and advocacy, they are an established agency in the Trauma-Informed Education Movement, and the local authority on building resilience in an increasingly complex 21st-century world.

If you were unable to attend Mindfulness with Shanti Project – Part 1, no worries! We still welcome you to attend Part 2! To get an idea of why mindfulness is important and the training that Shanti Project offers, watch these two videos:
