What:
An educational event to introduce our Imagine Yourself program to parents of children that have special needs and their siblings.
Our programs are designed to assist children and families (teachers and professionals too) to practice relaxation and mindfulness skills. They are used to assist the parents, children with special needs, siblings and friends strengthen and deepen their ability to be mindful and relax.
Why?
We've had some very positive results for some children and families. All members of every family? No. However we've been very pleased at the feedback we've been given as have the families.
