Be Happy: Facilitator Training for mindfulness groups with kids

Learn how to facilitate our “Be Happy”  6-week mindfulness program for children.

Presenter, Rolyn du Plessis, an occupational therapist with special interest and training in mindfulness and mindfulness-based interventions will guide professionals to be able to facilitate our Be Happy program with children in their communities.

In as much as academic-, artistic- and sports skills can be developed, our children’s mental well-being can also be nurtured by teaching them the skills they need to manage anxieties, maintain focus, regulate their emotions and empathize with themselves and others. 

Mindfulness practices are a set of skills that teach children to notice and relate in a kind way to their experiences and the experiences of others. In this experiential course, professionals will learn how to effectively teach numerous mindfulness techniques to children to help them navigate the ups and downs of everyday childhood life.
