Training Overview

In this workshop you will learn about the unique needs, sensitivities, and preferences of people with intellectual disabilities.

We will look at examples of how mindfulness impacts ourselves as well as those around us.

Learning Objectives

• Compare the way people experience stress, and how that stress impacts their health.
• Recognize the potential for stress in the support that we provide to people.
• Identify the three guiding principles of mindfulness.
