All too often we our ‘stuck in our heads’ ruminating about day to day difficulties and issues which can manifest powerful feelings of anxiety and depression over time. Through exploration of what strategies work to support your positive mental health, how can movement fit into your day? I encourage you to find the activity you love – yoga, dance, walking, hiking, swimming, jazzercise, cycling, running. The list is endless as you explore opportunities to have positive mental health through a healthy mind-body connection.

Trauma Informed Practice through Play Therapy
I had the opportunity to attend a weekend workshop with Dr. Cathy Malchiodi, author of “Trauma-Informed Practices with Children and Adolescents.” Current research informs us about the enormous importance of ‘play’ as the conduit for child development, learning, problem solving, connection, joy, language development, and therapeutic engagement. This video highlights the power of play therapy in supporting children in telling their story.
