The older we get the more difficult it becomes to rekindle the childlike excitement of the season. Our \u201cto do\u201d lists become longer with cards to write, presents to buy, relatives to entertain\u2026not to mention projects at work waiting to be finished before year-end. It can be very easy to get overwhelmed with the stress and frenzy of the holidays and forget to breathe and enjoy the moment.<\/p>\n

However, numerous research studies have indicated that practicing mindfulness (the state of \u201cactive, open attention on the present\u201d) is strongly correlated with greater well-being, reduced stress, and improved physical and mental health. Which is why the concept is gaining growing popularity in the United States. Large companies like Intel, Aetna, and Google are encouraging their employees to learn and practice the latest mindfulness techniques. As a result, they\u2019re seeing substantial benefits, including fewer employee sick days and increased job satisfaction, productivity, and retention.<\/p>\n

Mindfulness has recently become a topic of interest for the early childhood field as well. I was just at the Zero to Three annual conference in San Diego and participated in several conversations and workshops related to stress reduction and the recognition that employee retention is directly tied to self-care for front line staff. Home visitors working with at-risk families are especially prone to secondary trauma, stress, and burnout.<\/p>\n

But thanks to a three-year initiative launched this fall by the Community First Foundation, home visitors from seven program sites in the Denver metro area will be learning more about the beneficial practice of mindfulness! Parent Possible is the lead agency for this exciting initiative, which will include self-care and mindfulness training for home visiting staff through the Denver Children\u2019s Advocacy Center. In addition, home visitors will be receiving individual and group consultation from local mental health experts. The idea is that through developing resilience in home visitors to protect them from the negative effects of secondary trauma, they\u2019ll be able to provide even better support to parents and families.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re just getting started with this project \u2013 but can\u2019t wait to see the positive benefits these services have on home visitor\u2019s (professional and personal) lives! We\u2019re looking forward to sharing more about this innovative project with you throughout 2018 and beyond!<\/p>\n

Happy Holidays!! As you\u2019re standing in those long lines at the mall \u2013 remember to breathe and enjoy the moment. Christmas (and 2017) will be over in the blink of an eye and if you don\u2019t look for the magic in the season \u2013 you\u2019ll miss it!<\/p>\n
