Mindfulness and
Self-Care
for Addiction Professionals
Self-Care and Mindfulness training explores the critical role of self-care in sustaining effective peer recovery work.
Peer specialists, who often support others navigating trauma, substance use, and mental health challenges, face a unique risk of emotional fatigue and secondary trauma.
To help sustain the workforce and minimize burnout and compassion care fatigue, NJPN offers a variety of trainings to help manage the stresses of providing support.
Registration is at no cost thanks to funding from the NJ Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (NJDMHAS).

What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the state of focusing all of one's attention to the present moment without evaluation or judgement.
With roots in Buddhist teachings, mindfulness can be considered a form of meditation where the goal is to achieve a higher level of consciousness. To be mindful is to be tuned into one's current experience, feelings, emotions, and thoughts with acceptance.
This open-minded approach encourages exploration of any strong emotions observed in the moment and can provide clarity into one's feelings and behaviors. Many people who practice mindfulness report not only finding a greater sense of inner peace, but also improved relationships with their environments, life situations, and with others.
You may have heard the word mindfulness used in tandem with recent health and wellness movements—and with good reason. Research has shown many positive mental and physical health benefits attributed to practicing mindfulness.
