Description

Trauma-sensitive Mindful Skills Webinar

This 60-minute webinar is an introduction to trauma-sensitive mindful skills — the approach Lorraine E Murray developed over ten years of working directly with trauma-experienced young people and more than 2 decades training adults to teach meditation to children and teens.

Trauma changes how a young person responds to ordinary mindfulness and meditation practices. Without a trauma-aware approach, well-meant techniques can overwhelm and trigger rather than settle. Lorraine shares how trauma affects young people from both a mindful and an energy perspective, and how small adjustments to familiar practices can help them manage anxiety and navigate emotional distress.

In the webinar, you’ll gain insights into:

* how trauma affects the energy system of a young person
* how to make mindfulness practices safe, inclusive and non-triggering
* how to cultivate your own energy awareness to strengthen the support you offer
* practical examples of adapting mindfulness tools, and bringing in energy awareness, for trauma-experienced young people

This is an introduction rather than a full training. You’ll leave with a clear sense of what makes a practice trauma-sensitive, and several adjustments you can put to use straight away.

Suitable for

Anyone who works with, cares for or is connected to young people with trauma experience. No previous meditation or trauma training is needed.
