SE In the News
In the article “Therapists Donate Their Time to Counsel Distressed Health Care Workers” written by Mary Chris Jaklevic in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Jaklevic peeks into the mental health struggles of health care workers throughout the Coronavirus pandemic and how they are able to find aid in resources and organizations like The Emotional PPE Project and Caring for Caregivers. One such organization is the Therapy Aid Coalition, a non-profit that the SE Institute recently partnered with to bring relief in the face of the current COVID pandemic. The SE Institute is mentioned in the article as a training resource for therapists. |

Finding Sanctuary in the Body with Paula Josa-Jones
In this webinar you will learn several simple, gentle movement practices using conscious movement and stillness, breath, self-touch, and imagery. These are intended to help settle our systems, feel ourselves more deeply, and hold ourselves more gently by attuning to movement, which is our primary language. These practices can be integrated into traditional SE work and modified as appropriate for the abilities of the practitioner and the needs of the client.
This webinar takes place February 2, 2021 from 12 pm – 1:30 pm MST via Zoom. Registration closes at 12 pm MST on February 1.
