EFT/Tapping First Aid - Post Disaster Support

(for allied health professionals & educators in NSW/QLD flood affected communities)

We understand the emotional fatigue experienced as a result of this natural disaster is immense.

The Mind Heart Connect Foundation assists allied health professionals and educators who are supporting communities in post disaster areas, to implement best practice approaches in recognising trauma responses and minimising its impact.

During this 1-hour interactive session we focus on the “practical education” of how to use basic trauma-informed approaches and strategies in acute and early recovery stages. You will be able to to add these effective techniques to your existing self-care strategies.

This will support those impacted and provide tools for stress reduction, self-care and resiliency you can immediately implement and share with your clients/students.

Strategies covered in this session:

- Clinical EFT/Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) for Traumatised Communities

- HeartMath® techniques
