Hello everyone I’m happy to get this opportunity to participate

I am Mali O’Driscoll, I live in North Yorkshire. I am a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist and recently qualified in the last year. I have been a Paramedic most of my working life and mentor. I am interested in mindfulness in the classroom, working with both the teachers and the children to make learning less stressful, to build confidence and to achieve individual goals, hopes and dreams for their preferred future.

Im Kate Konchog. Mother of four. My eldest child died in January and I quit my teaching job to do inner work. Mindfulness is part of that work. It is helping me to connect with myself however painful the experience. I hope to be able to share what I am discovering for myself with others at a later stage .Very happy to be joining you.

I am Ariel Alarcon from Bogota, Colombia. I work as physician in a poor neighborhood in Bogotá. Part of my duty is to assist the schools near my hospital in programs for prevention of drugadiction, violence and sexuality problems among the pupils. I have found mindfulness as a very useful tooll in order to teach them about self-compassion, self-care, non-violent communication and problem resolution. My duties are as well related with early pregnancy prevention and drug and alcohol abuse prevention among the youth of this area.
I am glad to be here and to share with you.

I am a school psychologist in North Carolina. I’d like to incorporate more mindfulness in my personal life, as well as in the lives of the middle school and high school students I support. Being intentional and “in the moment” can alleviate much of the anxiety and stress that is their lives, and the lives of their parents.

I am a mum of two boys. My older son has just started working towards his GCSEs and is feeling a little stressed and my youngest soon struggles to focus. I’m looking for some strategies that we could do together that could help.

On a professional level I’m a Breastfeeding Counsellor and am facing increasingly complexed cases where there is an element of stress for mum. I find myself suggesting relaxation techniques more frequently to help families get through challenging times. I wonder if in some instances some mindfulness techniques might be helpful.

I am both a school nurse and guidance counselor. My intention is to find more peace and balance in my life.
