Mindfulness and Self-Compassion

Join us on Wednesday, February 23 at Noon for the second in a monthly series on Building Personal and Community Resilience. In this workshop, participants will learn about mindfulness and self-compassion, and how to use them as tools to become more present, treat themselves with kindness and compassion, and handle emotions with greater ease.

This series was facilitated by Katherine Manners and Carolina Bautista-Velez, OVC consultants, two of the foremost authorities with decades of experience in trauma-informed practices to promote resilience.

Following the video replay, participants will engage in a live discussion facilitated by VOICES staff.
