Mindfulness for Families

Monday, June 24th @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm EDT

Children ages 6-11 and their families are invited to join Jesse Frechette (he/him), psychotherapist, mindfulness educator, and former Philadelphia area school-based counselor of 20 years, as we learn about what mindfulness is, how it works, how to practice it, and how to apply it in everyday life. We will explore how mindfulness helps to change our relationship to stress, to meet ourselves, our emotions, and what’s happening more skillfully, and to strengthen our own inner friend and ally. Each session we will learn a little more about mindfulness and how it works, one or two new practices, and use real life examples of how to apply mindfulness to the struggles and challenges that children can learn to meet more skillfully. Learning and practicing mindfulness is a protective factor and coping skill in the wellness of children that can help them to meet themselves well now and at each stage in their development.

Registration is required. This is not a drop-off program, but is intended for families to participate in together.

 

These sessions are funded by a Keep It Safe grant, coordinated through Family Services of Montgomery County as part of the county Drug & Alcohol Community Prevention Program, an initiative of the Department of Health & Human Services’ Office of Drug & Alcohol.

NO PUBLIC COMPUTERS TODAY

Due to a software issue, the public computers are still out of service.

However, you will still have access to wi-fi, copying, scanning, and mobile printing.

This is WJM-specific, and does not affect our neighboring libraries, if you need to use a public computer.

Thank you for your patience!
