In this Pre-Recorded On-Demand course, you will explore how mindful meditation can become a creative, brain-based tool for children and teens struggling with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and other challenges.
You will also discover how these same practices can help you, as the therapist, feel more grounded and steady in your work.
This training is designed to be experiential.
You will be invited to try playful, art-based meditations for yourself. To get the most from the course, I recommend keeping paper, markers or crayons, and any other creative materials you enjoy close by.
☀️ Finally understand why mindfulness works. You will see how creative meditation techniques regulate the nervous system, strengthen focus, and restore emotional balance for children and teens.
☀️ Bring calm and creativity into your sessions. Learn simple, art-based approaches that help clients feel grounded, expressive, and safe.
☀️ Experience the difference yourself. Try the meditations during the course so you can confidently guide clients through them later.
☀️ Support your own regulation. These same tools can help you stay centered and steady while doing challenging clinical work.
☀️ Walk away with tools you can use right away. Leave with creative meditation scripts, art-based ideas, and a renewed sense of calm in your practice.
