MINDFULNESS MEDITATION WITH
DISADVANTAGED HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
Manny Hartofelis will share Mindfulness techniques with the High School Seniors in the YouthBuild Program, under The United Way of Long Island. These Seniors are in the Hempstead School District and receive job skill training to increase their chance of being independent upon graduation. Manny incorporates sound and different Mindfulness practices to offer tools to regulate emotions and nervous systems while enhancing the students toolkit for handling stress and trauma.
