Mindfulness Facilitation

Mindfulness or Grounding Class Facilitation Activity (15 points)

Grounding and mindfulness techniques are strategies that can help a person manage their traumatic memories or strong emotions. These grounding techniques can also help a person escape negative thoughts or flashbacks and can decrease the intensity of a person’s feelings or trauma. Each student will identify and facilitate one grounding or mindfulness technique for the whole class, which should last approximately five to ten minutes. Examples include breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, focusing on the five senses, and imagery. Students will sign up in week 1 to facilitate a technique between classes two and ten. No more than three students may present in the same session.
