In-Service CE: Mindfulness Training
Presenter: Robin Cressman
Objectives: Participants will learn about mindfulness, meditation, and related practices that can be utilized by CASA's in working with their appointees, as well as in their own daily life and self-care. Workshop will include a few brief but effective meditations, an in-depth discussion of mindfulness as a practice as well as its use in both Eastern traditions and Western medical practice, and mindful practices participants can put to use immediately in their work with their appointee, and their own life and stress-management.
Goal: Increase understanding and awareness of mindfulness-based practices, introduce actionable tools for the CASA and the children appointed to them.
