Mindfulness Coaching for Families
In collaboration with HCEG
Program Details
ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
This four-session mindfulness coaching program supports families with children and youths (between ages 10-17, or between Primary 4 and Secondary 4) in managing stress and anxiety, increasing mental and emotional wellbeing, as well as strengthening relationships within the family. Participants will be introduced to foundational mindfulness skills that encourage the development of present-moment non-judgmental awareness towards the self and others. Through experiential practices, discussions and reflections, participants will discover the benefits of cultivating mindfulness individually and as a family, and parents will learn to support their children in applying mindfulness to daily life.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Parents with children between the ages of 10-17 (or Primary 4 to Secondary 4) will find this coaching program helpful if:
WHAT TO EXPECT:
The program consists of four weekly sessions (1.5 hours per session), and is taught by an experienced mindfulness teacher in a group setting. Class sizes are kept small (min. of 3 and max. of 5) so that the teacher may maximize the effectiveness of facilitation. The parent is advised to attend every class with their child.
Participants will be introduced to foundational mindfulness skills and practices that can be easily incorporated into day-to-day life. Mindfulness practices, taught in both stillness and movement and in various postures, encourage self-observation of our body, thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Participants are also encouraged to reflect on and share their practice experiences. While the program is mostly experiential, some didactic teachings on stress and resilience are conducted to support the learning process.
The program is designed to encourage active participation and commitment to practice, and so participants are required to follow up on the home practice assigned to them each week. Parents are encouraged to practice together with their child on a daily basis.
