From self care to classroom- dynamic mindfulness

Caprica Neal, Mendez Elementary

A core group of staff received Dynamic Mindfulness Training and Curriculum from the Niroga Institute with the ultimate goals of reducing staff compassion fatigue, burn-out, stress-reactions, and absences while simultaneously improving staff stress-management, overall well-being, attendance, and interactions with others - including students and families. Additionally, Niroga Institute provided staff a series of coaching and mentoring sessions.
