From Fight or Flight to Calm and Relaxed: Mind-Body Skills for Community Corrections
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 30, 2022
2:15 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop
Chronic stress, vicarious trauma, critical incidents – people who work in the field of community corrections face a barrage of threats to their wellbeing. The upheaval caused by the pandemic, exposure to community crises, and struggles in our personal lives have added to the ongoing stressors of a demanding career. How can we care for ourselves in the face of all these ordeals? In this interactive workshop, you will practice a selection of mind-body skills that will help to ease the body’s fight-or-flight and chronic stress responses and regain a sense of calm, relaxation, and even joy. We use the community resilience model developed by the Center for Mind-Body Medicine. Our goal is to provide you with some easy-to-use mindfulness tools to add to your toolbox, and our hope is that you can experience more balance and satisfaction in the many facets of your life.
