Description:
This program aims to explore the construct of mindfulness through a variety of evidence-based lens. Particular attention will be focused on the affective benefits of mindfulness application in daily routine. ‘Everyone is a first responder in their own lives’- is a theme that will be further explored as a part of the human condition, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Decision-making processes and emotion regulation are areas where mindfulness can be of incredible support both in emergency decisions and non-emergency daily life choices alike where cultivating a response rather than surrendering to a reaction may make all the difference. Drawing from personal experience as a chaplain for police, and other essential occupations, the presenter will share how lessons for first responders may benefit us all. This session will also feature a brief period of meditation.  

This program will: 
• Define the construct of mindfulness 
• Enhance awareness of various benefits of mindfulness and participate in a short period of meditation
• Explore how mindfulness can support decision-making and help cultivate first responses rather than first reactions.
