SUMMARY:Somatics and Breathwork in the Helping Profession
DESCRIPTION:Professionals working in helping and caregiving roles are routinely exposed to high levels of emotional demand\, cognitive load\, and nervous system activation. Over time\, this sustained exposure can contribute to dysregulation\, burnout\, and reduced capacity for presence. Increasingly\, somatic approaches are being recognized as essential complements to cognitive and relational models of care\, offering practical methods for understanding and supporting regulation through the body. \nThis one-day micro-credential workshop introduces participants to the foundational principles of somatics and the applied use of breathwork as a regulation-based practice within helping professions. \nThe workshop is designed for educators\, healthcare workers\, therapists\, social service professionals\, and others working in service-oriented roles who are seeking evidence-informed\, body-based tools to support both personal wellbeing and professional effectiveness. \nCourse Details:\nDate: May 2\, 10:00am – 4:00pm\nIn person and virtual options available\nCost: $445\nLocation: Trent University Symons Campus
