Mindfulness for Caregivers

A former statistics professor, Joy Jordan helps people struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, and busyness to slow down and savor life. Her work takes her into prisons, corporate offices, schools, non-profits, and community classes. Using simple, low-commitment but high-impact tools that are quick to master, Joy helps people turn mindfulness and meditation into the everyday practice they’ve always wanted. Research shows that a regular mindfulness practice increases focus, decreases anxiety, and improves emotion regulation. In this session, you’ll learn about and experience varied mindfulness exercises—exercises to ease your stress as caregivers. These are practices that can be implemented in small, doable ways. You’ll leave the session with a deeper sense of calm and a toolkit of practices for everyday life. It’s possible to care for yourself as you’re caring for others.​
