Mindful stress reduction in social work - Einzelansicht

Social work is one of the professions with the highest job burn out rate. Social workers have to deal with deep suffering without losing themselves.In this class we will follow on one hand Jon Kabat Zinn's concept of mindfulness stress reduction (MBSR) (Kabat Zinn 1979, full catastrophe living) and on the other hand the psychoeducational material of Gerd Kaluza (Kaluza 2005, Stress Management ).Practically we will experience the elements of the MBSR 8 weeks course: sitting and walking meditation, yoga exercises and body scan. We will as well experiencecircle work, writing exercises and will take time to reflect our everyday experiences at ASH and in the world.If you want to partcipate please bring open minds and lose trousers.
