Webinar – Mindful Trauma
Meditation for Trauma – trauma-experienced children often live in a heightened state of anxiety, unable to fully relax, connect, or feel safe. There is a live, online event with the founder of the Connected Kids Method, Lorraine E Murray, who has worked with trauma-experienced children for 10 years. The webinar focuses on practical, calming tools to support children (and the adults around them) in managing the effects of trauma and anxiety.
Why This Meditation for Trauma Webinar Matters
While understanding trauma is essential, knowing how to respond in the moment 
when a child is anxious, distressed, or shut down is where real impact happens.
This webinar will explore how meditation and energy-awareness practices—when introduced gently and appropriately— can help children regulate their nervous systems, improve emotional resilience, and feel safer in their bodies and environments.
