A mental health professional is a health care practitioner or social and human services provider who offers services for the purpose of improving an individual's mental health or to treat mental disorders. This broad category was developed as a name for community personnel who worked in the new community mental health agencies begun in the 1970s to assist individuals moving from state hospitals, to prevent admissions, and to provide support in homes, jobs, education, and community. These individuals (i.e., state office personnel, private sector personnel, and non-profit, now voluntary sector personnel) were the forefront brigade to develop the community programs, which today may be referred to by names such as supported housing, psychiatric rehabilitation, supported or transitional employment, sheltered workshops, supported education, daily living skills, affirmative industries, dual diagnosis treatment,[1] individual and family psychoeducation, adult day care, foster care, family services and mental health counseling.

10 Day Meditation Program

36 Steps

About

Looking for a way to kick-off your meditation practice and start a long-lasting routine? Let go of all your misconceptions about meditation, tune into your breath and get ready to find complete balance and total Zen. In this 10-day meditation journey, we will ease you into a routine and help you reap all of the benefits meditation has to offer. Each day we will focus on an aspect that links our mind to our body (and breath) to help you develop a practice that works for you! Beginning and sticking with our practice is not so easy, so let's start slow. We will start by devoting just 5 minutes a day for the first few days (preferably when you first wake in the am) and gradually work our way to 15+ minutes of mindfulness each day. We will learn how to tune into our breath, different breathing techniques, quieting the mind, noticing areas of tension and discomfort in the body, and discovering tools to amplify our meditation experience. We will also practice guided visualization meditations and have a brief introduction to our chakra system. Each day we will practice bringing our attention to the sensations in our body, to the fluctuations in our mind, and to the quality of our breath so that we may find peace and awareness within ourselves
