here and reconnect “flow through summer”
summer academy 2022
problem solve, release stress and manage anger through effective body movements and Mindfulness Techniques
“The program will offer a mindfulness curriculum that will incorporate themes relating to boosting the well-being of the young people by engaging with them with the goals of developing self-regulatory capacities, positive self-concept, supportive relationships and healthier lifestyles.”
“This project is being supported, in whole or in part, by federal award number SLFRP1615 awarded to Douglas County by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.”
Our aim at HERE is to make mindfulness an accessible, soft intervention, which is available and relatable to all. We encourage early intervention of mindfulness, by exposing children as early as possible to these practices which can help support the wellbeing of not only the child, but also the support circle around them.
Mindfulness can help prevent the escalation of underlying issues by encouraging greater emotional awareness, empathy, and developing greater connection to the self and those around.
