15 Min Burn Out Busters Every Wed @ 9AM

Community Mindfulness Project (CMP) to offer weekly “Mini Mindfulness Burnout Busters” for Non-Profit Workers and First Responders

The weekly “Mini Mindfulness Burnout Busters” start Wednesday, June 23rd at 9:00AM, and the program is ongoing. The short, 15-minute sessions will provide mindfulness and meditation opportunities for front-line and non-profit workers. The sessions are designed specifically to help combat mental and emotional stress, are all based on neuroscience, and are quickly and easily accessible by phone or zoom. Participants can hop off the session immediately following the mindfulness exercise or can stay online to connect with peers in the non-profit community.  All sessions are being offered free of charge.

Erika Long, co-founder of Community Mindfulness Project, shares that, “These sessions came out of an alliance between Community Mindfulness Project and Building One Community, together recognizing the common thread of burnout that exists amongst nonprofit workers. Mindfulness practices have been shown to help prevent burnout and support resilience.”  CMP began working with Building One Community in the spring of 2020 to help their staff combat vicarious trauma and burnout and support a culture of self-care within the organization.  There was interest from the staff to keep the sessions going, and CMP and Building One Community decided to open the sessions up to any non-profit or front-line workers who want to join.  Anka Badurina, Executive Director, of Building One Community said of the mindfulness programming provided by CMP, “CMP’s skillful trainings have provided B1C’s staff with effective tools for dealing with stress, connecting with the compassion that is at the heart of our work, and strengthening our equanimity. We are so excited that CMP will be opening these sessions to our colleagues at other organizations.”

Building One Community is a non-profit organization whose mission is to advance the successful integration of immigrants and their families.  

Elevated levels of stress and anxiety in the community have driven people to search for various types of intervention and support. Community Mindfulness Project offers mindfulness and meditation programs to schools, hospitals, and community organizations to help support their communities’ physical, psychological, emotional, and social well-being. Additional programming is available free of charge and open to the public, both online and in-person in outdoor locations.
