Mindfulness for Job-related stress And Trauma

Through my sister company, The Mindful Project, I bring mindfulness and resilience training to you and your team.

 

The Program in Detail

 
  • Whether you choose a half day block training or a six-week series, all classes mix lecture with experiential mindfulness practices to help participants stay engaged. While the lesson plan is the same each time to ensure consistent delivery, details are refined to be relevant to your industry.

    Choose from:

    Two-hour block

    Four-hour block

    Four-week series

    Six-week series

    Eight-week series

    We meet in a classroom style set up with everyone in chairs at a table or desk. This is not yoga so no yoga mats are needed.

    Pre and post-surveys are conducted to report back efficacy of the training.

  • Each training is front-loaded with the “why:” the neuroscience of stress and trauma and a concept called “widening the window of tolerance.” Knowing how the body and brain relate to stress helps participants anchor into why this work matters, and helps to normalize their personal experience.

    Learning key definitions is followed by broader conversations of how stress and mindfulness relate to work, relationships, and physical and mental wellness.

    Request information packet including curriculum outline below.

  • Regardless of length of training chosen, all participants leave with at least three trauma-informed stress reduction techniques and three breathing techniques. Longer trainings cover more topics and offer more techniques. Overall, participants will learn how to reduce stress, increase resilience and well-being, lower anxiety and depression, improve sleep, and lower inflammation. Each participant leaves with training materials as their toolbox of research-backed techniques to help them take back control of their health.

    The goal is to provide simple yet powerful techniques to be easily used on a daily basis to mitigate the effects of job-related stress. Of course, the techniques also apply to all areas of life.

    The Lauren Yoga app contains extensive mindfulness and movement classes. Each participant receives free access to the app for six months so they can continue their practice ($300 value per person). Because stress and trauma are physical and body-based, yoga or any kind of movement is encouraged on the healing journey.

  • Mindfulness for Job-Related Stress and Trauma is for anyone in a high stress career, including but not limited to: public school employees, healthcare workers, law enforcement and fire departments, lawyers, non-profits, and military.

    The course can begin anytime, and may be offered all days except Sundays.

    Working with Lauren and The Mindful Project provides an increase in health and quality of life by targeting the ways in which chronic stress is managed in the body and mind. Ultimately, each participant learns ways to better cope with traumatic and stressful events as an ongoing life skill, so these events no longer take such a toll on overall health and wellness.

    Stress is not inherently bad, and in fact, healthy levels of stress are required for high performance. However, the American Medical Association now says 75-90% of human disease is due to untreated chronic stress. Combined with work related traumas that certain industries face, intervention is required to continue to care for each individual and their quality of life. In addition to the personal health and wellness component, neuroscience shows that the healing of each person contributes to a more effective team environment, as well as higher on-the-job performance.

What they’re saying:

“Words cannot begin to express my gratitude to Lauren and her service. I have known Lauren for nearly 10 years. She was one of my first yoga instructors, and I have continued to grow immensely under her guidance, wisdom, and teaching style. Aside from Lauren’s advanced training, education and wealth of experience in yoga, body mechanics, meditation, and mindfulness, she is one of the most authentic, pure, and kind-hearted people that I have the honor of knowing. I trust Lauren with my fellow officers, their health, care and wellness, but above and beyond her approval as a law enforcement driven, trauma-informed teacher, I trust her with my life.”

WHAT THEy’RE SAYINg:

“Yoga and breathing exercises are not usually something one associates with police officers. However, I find myself practicing “tactical breathing” or breathing exercises when I am headed into a potentially dangerous situation, while in a pursuit, or a high stress situation. I even utilize when dealing with a particularly hateful suspect. Lauren’s sections were impactful, and I have continued to use breathing exercises when I’m not in the situations that are as high stress as mentioned before. I have started using breathing exercises for my three-year-old child when he is frustrated. I think it’s something that is underutilized in our profession and can provide meaningful respite when it feels like we have no down time at work.”
