Caring for You Workshop: A new addition to our series of Heart-Mind Workshops 

Care for you in our new Heart-Mind well-being (HMWB) workshop which promotes social emotional learning, personal wellness, and adult self-care through the lens of DLC’s Heart-Mind Well-Being Framework. This Framework was developed in partnership with the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) at UBC and is grounded in latest SEL research and best practice models in the field.

Workshop​ ​Objectives​ ​include:

1. Provide a practical and meaningful experience for participants to engage in their own social and emotional learning and deepen their understanding of evidence informed ways to strengthen their own Heart-Mind well-being and that of the adults, youth and children in their lives.
2. Through the exploration of self-care strategies that include breathing exercises, mindfulness practice, and stress management techniques, participants will have an opportunity for self reflection and to identify ways of integrating Heart-Mind well-being in to their lives. 

  Facilitated by Angela Low, Angela is a specialist in emotional intelligence and child development, committed to bringing social and emotional learning to the forefront of communities that support children, youth and their families.
