Mindfulness practices can soothe the nervous system, help disconnect from unproductive thought streams, and bring insight to troubling circumstances and unvoiced needs. Most importantly, they offer a mechanism for self-compassion – a practice especially important for social workers, who devote so much of themselves to the suffering of others. This hands-on session will explore a variety of simple Mindfulness exercises that can easily be folded into your day to help you care for yourself.
