About

We know from research on human development that social-emotional wellness is built through positive relationships with important people in our lives. When parents and caregivers learn and practice mindfulness, those positive benefits also extend to support the wellbeing of their young children.

This evidence-based course prepares those who help families teach caregivers and their children mindfulness skills that support improved emotional regulation, stress reduction, and positive communication among all members of the family.

In Mindful Connections™ for Supporting Families, we teach you to:

Lead age-appropriate mindfulness practices with families
Help caregivers and children understand and identify their stress responses
Nurture positive self-talk and self-compassion
Facilitate children’s natural capacity to give and receive love, empathy, and compassion
Integrate a trauma-informed approach to delivering mindfulness to adults and children
Embody and model mindfulness
