C3 - Mindful Resilience: Mindfulness and Mind-body Practices for First Responder Well-being

Chronic stress is a leading contributor to declines in first responder health and wellness. There is a need for portable and accessible tools they can use for regulating the stress response, reducing burnout, and enhancing mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Mindfulness and mind-body skills are ancient and evidence-based tools that can do just that. When practiced regularly, they promote greater self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-care which empowers individuals to tap into their true purpose and potential. In this presentation, participants will gain an understanding of what mindfulness and mind-body practices are, why they are beneficial for first responders, and how to practice them. The workshop will be highly experiential. Participants will engage in several mindfulness and mind-body practices throughout the session and receive guidance and resources for integrating these practices into life for immediate benefit.
