Heart-Mind Well-Being Workshops

We offer a series of virtual and in-person Heart-Mind Workshops that help build capacity in individuals, organizations and communities to promote the Heart-Mind well-being of children and youth. Since 2014, our Foundational Heart-Mind Workshop has been presented to dozens of organizations in British Columbia, and demand for the workshops has grown steadily.

The Heart-Mind Foundational Workshop presents the science behind the Heart-Mind Well-Being Framework, and introduces participants to the five positive human qualities that promote Heart-Mind well-being: secure and calm, alert and engaged, gets along with others, compassionate and kind, and solves problems peacefully.

For more information on this workshop and to learn how the resources and activities proposed in this workshop can be used in a variety of environments, click on the Foundational workshop link on the left.

Since introducing the Heart-Mind Signature Workshop, we have developed five additional workshops: Focus on Adolescence; Caring for You; Heart-Mind in Schools; Parenting; and Secure and Calm

All our workshops are inquiry-based, evidence-informed, and help promote systemic change in home environments, schools, organizations and communities serving children and youth. Workshops are aligned with the province of British Columbia's new curriculum framework, and will appeal to multi-sectoral stakeholders working in early childhood, education, social service, health, sports, recreation, and family services, as well as parents and caregivers. 

Since 2016, we have trained professionals from Metro Vancouver and beyond to meet the growing demand for the workshops from educators, parents and community service providers. This enables us to increase workshop accessibility and reach in British Columbia.
