Upcoming Programs - Center for Parents and Teachers
All sessions are held online for 45 minutes and are facilitated by our instructor, Carolyn Wilkins, who trained at Massachusetts General Hospital's Benson-Henry Institute for Mind-Body Medicine.
- Monday, October 18 at 7:30 PM “Key Partners to Combat Stress: Restorative Sleep & Mindfulness”. Pre-registration by October 14th is required by emailing cpt@concordps.org and typing “October 18” in the subject line.
Only 1 in 3 adults get the recommended 7-9 hours sleep each night, with consequences ranging from impaired memory, compromised immune function to hypertension and obesity. And the throughline to stress is clear: Among over 85 sleep disorders, the #1 root cause is stress, giving us a vital key to crack this code. Join this 45-minute session as we explore the practical, behavioral, and social implications for achieving better sleep.
- Monday, October 25 at 7:30 PM “Redefining Social Connections for Optimal Wellness”. Pre-registration by October 21st is required by emailing cpt@concordps.org and typing “October 25” in the subject line
After 18 months of social restriction, we’re beginning to reframe and reprioritize our social interactions. Science shows us that social connections are vital to buffering stress, helping us to modulate fear and anxiety. Join us as we explore ways to mindfully assess our social and prosocial connections as a way to enhance wellness.
- Monday, November 1 at 7:30 PM “Stress Warning Signals: What are they & what can they teach us?” Pre-registration by October 28th is required by emailing cpt@concordps.org and typing “November 1” in the subject line
Stress is more than feeling distress and discomfort; it’s the root cause of 60-90% of all doctor visits, begging us to forge a healthier approach to managing daily stress. Where and how stress manifests itself in our minds and bodies become valuable data, especially when married with a science-backed toolkit of techniques to calm the nervous system and make us more resilient.
- Monday, November 8 at 7:30 PM “Meditation & Mindfulness”Pre-registration by November 1 is required by emailing cpt@concordps.org and typing “November 8” in the subject line
Developing a mentally clear and emotionally calm, stable state first requires that we acknowledge the critical role that meditation & mindfulness play in making us more resilient. Learn how developing a practice can happen, and what it can offer us as we seek to buffer the daily impact of stress.
