The Be CALM Counseling Training is a live digital training for school mental health staff including counselors and social workers, among others, who are interested in implementing our six-session small group mindfulness-based curriculum for middle and high school students. This evidence-informed group is designed to help students reduce stress & improve emotion regulation through mindfulness-based skills and practices. The training includes three half-day sessions over three consecutive weeks. Participants are also required to complete the concurrent Be CALM Hybrid Mindfulness Course (requires separate registration). Below is the link.

Please be sure you are able to attend all three live sessions and complete assignments for the Hybrid course before registering – they will not be recorded.

 
In addition to the completing all training, certification requires attendance at 2 individual coaching sessions in the first semester you implement the group. Costs are included for this coaching as well as quarterly Professional Learning Community meetings on Zoom to support ongoing delivery. Participants will receive the program manual and all supplies needed to deliver the program to one group of six students.
