What’s happening in CHV’s Crisis Program? As part of CHV’s holistic approach to healing trauma and supporting youth on their journeys, in addition to goal setting and action plans, there are regular opportunities for youth to express themselves and take time for themselves to explore who they are. 🧘♀️ Yoga is one form of recreation that CHV offers. Practicing yoga can change the structure of your brain🧠, and create new connections and activate the areas of the brain that are responsible for: • Learning • Memory • Attention • Awareness • Thought • Language • Neuroplasticity Another way that youth can express themselves, which can also be therapeutically beneficial, is through art🎨. Art can be a way to externalize trauma that is stored in the body. Creating art is also a great way for youth to connect with peers and staff. 🤝 Recently, youth in the Crisis Program created their own tote bags and fairy gardens. 🧚 Learn more👉: https://lnkd.in/gvb5WTxz. #HolisticHealth #mentalhealth #activities #yoga #CovenantHouseVancouver

Your kids are under enormous pressure: From school 👩🏻🏫, everything that's going on in the world 🌏, and even from you, as parents. 🦻🏻 Even if you don't mean to add to their pressure, it is in their nature not to want to disappoint you. With a background in psychology, public health, and being a yoga teacher, I use ALL my skills to help your kids manage their stress. Because tests are not the most important thing in the world, and kids should know that! Also, if they're not feeling well, scoring high on their tests gets more difficult than it should be. How stressed do you think your kids are regarding the test prep process on a scale from 1 - 5? Let's chat in the comments. https://www.rfr.bz/lngbm1k #kellyfrindell #testpreparation #testpreptoolkit #standardizedtests #highschoolers #middlesschooleducation #onlinetestprep #onlinetutoring #middleschooltutors #parentsofteenagers
