Meditation and mindful energy awareness
to help trauma-experienced children/teens
Working with children who are trauma-experienced requires a special set of skills.
While our Connected Kids professional training can support people who want to teach meditation professionally and support anxious children, our experience helped us identify a need to introduce a mindful sensitivity to work more deeply, and gently with children affected by trauma.
Perhaps you are already working with trauma-experienced young people and are looking to advance your skills? This Masterclass of mindfulness and energy awareness can give you the skills you need to bring a mindful trauma-sensitive awareness to your work.
The course offers a combination of self-study modules and online group support to help you develop trauma-sensitive mindfulness skills, intuitive skills, and help you develop the use of healing practices into your work.
These trauma-sensitive resources can help you teach meditation and mindful energy skills to young people (under the age of 18) gently yet effectively.
