Learning to tell our stories, show and share emotions is important for the healing process. Often, young people are not given space to show adults their feelings about events that happen in their early life, leading to disconnection, distrust and trauma. Mindfulness practices can support system-involved youth to build awareness of emotions and how to express and process them in healthy ways. In this training, we will explore different ways to integrate narrative practice in the exploration of identity, and empathy building for system-involved youth.
