EVERY MONDAY MATTERS
SPECIAL PRESENTATION
The following presentation kicks off the beginning of a special collaboration project between ACROSS NH and EVERY MONDAY MATTERS. ACROSS NH is looking forward to sharing more opportunities with EMM this fall. Stay tuned!
Everything is different today and we all feel it. Change is difficult and it impacts us at every level - physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, there is a way to create a healthy and positive normal that reconnects us with one another and empowers us to thrive again. We have the agency to do it. This workshop provides participants with the understanding, learning models, and tools to create a better normal in this not so normal time.

ACROSS NH ZOOM TRAININGS
This Zoomshop will review mindfulness education and its benefits for children and adults alike, with a focus on 'being mindful' during critical times like now. When stress is high and the future is unknown, having a regular mindful practice, as well as just generally being mindful, can go a long way towards being emotionally well, building resilience, and being more available helpful to others. Join this live online session for out-of-school time providers that will blend some mindful practice, authentic sharing among participants, and an exploration of available resources.
