PSIP / Positive Adult Development

$200.00

The Positive Adult Development (PAD) curriculum was created to help parents of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities manage stress. PAD incorporates evidence-based interventions from the field of positive psychology and emphasizes ways to temper such emotions as guilt, conflict, worry, and pessimism by identifying and using character strengths and virtues, using strengths in new ways, and by practicing exercises involving gratitude, forgiveness, grace, and optimism.

PAD was originally designed to be delivered over the course of 6 weeks in 1-1.5-hour group sessions each week. This curriculum also can be run back to back in a weekend retreat format if there are time constraints. The groups are best facilitated by peer mentors who are also parents of individuals who have intellectual or developmental disabilities or mental health issues, or by other professionals in the field who have proper educational training in group facilitation. The information, including handouts for tips and techniques, is presented using a PowerPoint presentation and discussion is facilitated by the group leader.

PSIP / Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

$200.00

Mindfulness is a way of relating directly to whatever is happening in your life, meeting your experience skillfully and with an open heart. Mindfulness training is an antidote to the habitual response patterns that lock us into routines that undermine emotional and physical health. Jon Kabat-Zinn describes mindfulness as “…moment-to-moment awareness, the complete ‘owning of each moment’ of your experience, good, bad, or ugly” (Kabat-Zinn, 2005).

The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Curriculum was originally designed to be delivered in 6 weeks with 1-1.5 hour sessions each week. This curriculum also can be run back to back in a weekend retreat format if there are time constraints. The group is best facilitated by a group leader who has some training/daily practice in mindfulness-based techniques. It is also necessary to have proper educational training in group facilitation and mental health issues. The sessions include both discussion and practicing mindfulness-based techniques. The information, which includes a Mindfulness practice link, is included for download to help demonstrate the different techniques. The manual also includes weekly practice and assignments to help gain a better understanding of mindfulness practice in daily life.
