Healing Illuminated: Promoting Self-Care in our Families, Schools and Communities

Learning and practicing self-care must happen in community and be reinforced in community.  Providing parents, teachers and other caregivers tools to self-regulate are a critical part of a trauma informed organization and community.  Healing Illuminated provides adults with these tools to heal as well as specific tools and skills to share those gifts with the young people in their lives.  Healing Illuminated provides breathing, yoga, mindfulness and other tools to adults from schools, organizations and communities across the Greater Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and nationwide, and is finding ways to help build them into school systems.  One example is a training they offered through a cohort of adult educators, youth workers, parents and caregivers who work with students who are labeled as having Educational Behavioral Disorder. Along with practicing mind-body tools for addressing their own stress and trauma, participants engaged in learning about the history of the EBD Special Education category and ways to incorporate simple tools into their lives, their homes, classrooms, offices and organizations in order to create a space of wholeness for themselves and the youth in their lives.…….Learn about how this work has evolved and been implemented in multiple kinds of spaces.  https://www.alifeinpractice.com/
