Listed here are a few amazing resources you may find helpful on a variety of topics.
Below, I have a few helpful videos you may find interesting.
- The National Child Traumatic Stress Network: Created by Congress in 2000 as part of the mission to "raise the standard of care and increase access to services for children and family who experience or witness traumatic events".
- Tricycle: "Dedicated to making Buddhist teachings and practices broadly available". There are many resources here, and I have linked to two articles about Mindfulness here to get you started. There are other perspectives regarding Mindfulness and all are valid. For me personally, these resonate:
- "On Mindfulness: Two New Perspectives" by Jeff Wilson & Wendy Agsar, 2016.
- "What Mindfulness is Not" by Stephen Batchelor, Christina Feldman, Akincano Weber, and John Peacock, 2018.
- Mindful.Org: Another perspective on Mindfulness. To get you started, I have linked to their introduction to Mindfulness below:
- "Getting Started with Mindfulness" has tons of amazing information for the beginning mindfulness practitioner including simply stated definitions, audio practices, introductory videos, and links to more resources.
- The UCLA Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC): "MARC's mission is to foster mindful awareness across the lifespan through education and research to promote well-being and a more compassionate society". Below I've linked to their listing of free guided meditations available in English and Spanish
- The Greater Good Science Center: Based out of the University of California, Berkeley, the GGSC "studies the psychology, sociology, and neuroscience of well-being and teaches skills that foster a thriving, resilient, and compassionate society".
- The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs - Veteran Training: Anger and Irritability Management Skills: This is an online course "developed specifically for Veterans" and offers "a wide range of practical skills and tools to manage your anger and develop self-control over your thoughts and actions"
