The past couple of years have been full of challenges and uncertainty for many of us. How do we take care of ourselves and enhance our sense of well-being in the midst of it all?
In order to successfully navigate all the stresses and changes in our lives, planned and unplanned, we need resilience. Resilience is the capacity to recover from adversity, trauma, and setbacks and to keep thriving and growing. We can then live with a balanced presence, with awareness of opportunities that present themselves as well as continuing to pursue our goals. Resilience is a trait that can be learned and cultivated.
This class draws from the empirically validated approaches of both Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) curricula, as well as some of the latest neuroscience and research work around trauma and resilience. We draw from the work of many experts in the field, including David Treleaven, Rick Hanson, Kelly McGonigal, Paul Gilbert, Linda Graham, and Deb Dana.
You will learn the foundational tools and practices of mindfulness, as well as how to work with and regulate your nervous system to develop more stability, resilience, and joy in the face of stress. This class incorporates a daily mindfulness meditation practice, as well as real-life practices, to make it immediately useful for your life.

An important note in light of COVID-19
Masks and vaccinations are strongly recommended, although not currently required. Correct use of well-fitting masks or face coverings protects the wearer as well as others, thereby helping to prevent transmission of COVID-19.
Health and safety requirements are subject to change. Participants will be required to follow current guidelines in place at the time of the program.
Participants who have symptoms of COVID-19, are required to stay home and should get tested and/or see a health care provider. Any participant who tests positive for COVID-19 is required to isolate at home following current guidelines from DOH and the CDC. This isolation guidance applies regardless of vaccination status.
Scholarships Available
CCFW aims to promote well-being by making evidence-based mindfulness practices available and accessible to community members, particularly professionals working with children and families. We believe that mindfulness has positive implications for professionals as well as the children and families they interact with. Therefore, we wish to encourage mindfulness training by removing possible financial barriers for professionals working with these specific populations. If these fees are cost-prohibitive for you, we invite you to apply for a scholarship.
