Our fast-paced autopilot world is stressful with multiple competing, complex, global, and conflicting demands. Many of us often feel like we are on autopilot.  The Pause of Wonder & Awe can be a portal for Mindful Compassionate Self-Care. This mental health mini series invites you to join others desiring intentional practice time to RESET through the lens of beauty, gratitude, meditation, and compassion. Together we will explore various techniques that allow us to reset out hearts and minds. Each session will include guided meditation practices, group discussion and activities centered around fostering growth, resiliency, and overall wellbeing.

Although all three sessions are designed to complement each other, if you are unable to attend one of the sessions, do not let that be a barrier to your joining in the series. Each session limited to 60 participants.

In this session we will take a look at the ACE Study (adverse childhood experiences), the effects of adverse experiences, and how we can build resiliency in individuals with high ACE scores. Relationships are vital resources in young people's development, and assets are built primarily though positive, healthy relationships. The Search Institute released a framework of the 40 Developmental Assets, which identifies a set of skills, experiences, relationships, and behaviors that enable young people to develop into successful and contributing adults. Data collected from Search Institute surveys of more than 4 million children and youth from all backgrounds and situations has consistently demonstrated that the more Developmental Assets young people acquire, the better their chances of succeeding in school and becoming happy, healthy, and contributing members of their communities and society.

During the current pandemic, most of us have been physically separated for several weeks due to social distancing. This has created the need for youth workers and caregivers to find new & creative ways to build assets with our youth. Join us as we discover ways to promote resiliency, optimism & relational connections in young people.

About the Lecture: Emotional Intelligence has gained momentum as an awareness movement and understanding EI assists in understanding the role that resilience plays in overall well-being. The path to resilience begins with relationship. Positive relationship development includes accountability and realization beyond behaviors that create intrinsic resilience. Participants will learn to implement best practices to encourage feelings of youth connectedness to support systems. They will also explore GRIT and the growth mindset as a tool for increasing well-being and develop a plan to implement resources that can support their work to develop youth's growth mindset and overall well-being.
