In partnership with the Valley Forge Park Alliance, we offer a seasonal Mindfulness Walking Series that is hosted by licensed therapists. Our walks take place in beautiful Valley Forge National Park, on paved and unpaved paths. During the hour long walks our therapists will share mindfulness techniques that can be implemented by participants outside of our walks. In addition, every new participant is eligible for one free in person counseling session with one of our therapists. The series is free to the public and space fills up fast!
As part of our Helping the Healing Professional program, Daemion Counseling Center delivers wellness sessions to small and large groups who regularly work with individuals affected by traumatic events. While they are not the direct victims, the constant exposure to others' pain and suffering, known as secondary trauma, can deeply affect their own mental health and well-being.
Professionals who are exposed to secondary trauma are at greater risk for physical and mental ailments such as anxiety, burnout, increased interpersonal conflicts, sleep disturbance and strained personal relationships. Our wellness sessions aim to provide a few moments of peace and tranquility, where individuals can learn relaxation and self-care techniques. Each session is tailored to the group being served and incorporates yoga, meditation and sound bath healing.
