Training Description

Marginalized youth are facing an extraordinary amount of stress and in this time of great uncertainty when youth are facing a global pandemic, climate change, an uprising, systematic racism, and virtual distance learning, their stressors are greater than ever. This mindfulness based training will offer youth workers culturally relevant and engaging tools, practices, and strategies for supporting marginalized youth in building healthy friendships. We will explore trauma informed mindfulness and activities to support youth in development of emotional self-regulation, healthy boundaries and consent, and empathy building. Participants will receive guidance and tangible practices to support facilitation of mindfulness and compassion in a virtual setting for at risk youth, foster youth, and system involved youth.

  • Explore and understand how mindfulness and self compassion practices can be supportive and culturally relevant for at risk youth

  • Engage in at least 1 culturally relevant activity to support youth…
