Healing from within: Somatic practices for your mind and body
This Mental Health Month, we are equipping individuals with the tools they need to take care of their mental health. Exploring options for support and care can be overwhelming, and finding practices that work for you is essential. To best care for your mental health, you need a variety of tools to help you cope. This session will explore one tool for healing - somatic practices. Somatic techniques are being used to help cultivate a mind-body connection, regulate emotions, and release stress, tension, and trauma. We will discuss how simple but powerful exercises impact mental health and how you can explore somatic healing for your mental health.
