Finding Peace Amidst the Holidays: A Meditation Session with DAAPAC

In the final meeting before the holidays, the District African American Parent Advisory Council (DAAPAC) of Riverside County came together for a special session focused on finding peace amidst the holiday chaos. Participants embarked on a journey of mindfulness, exploring how meditation can be a powerful tool for managing stress and finding calm.

Guided by Amber Washington, the group reflected on the transformative power of mindfulness in their lives. From managing stress to deepening connections with children, mindfulness has the potential to enrich every aspect of parenting. By incorporating mindfulness practices into daily routines, parents can cultivate greater resilience, patience, and compassion, not only for themselves but for their families.

The holiday meditation session with DAAPAC served as a reminder of the importance of supporting parents and equipping them with relevant tools of self-care. As we navigate the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, let us remember the transformative power of mindfulness and the gift of presence it brings to our lives.

African American Parent Advisory Council provides guidance and support around the RCAAAI Blueprint for Action that promotes positive academics, social emotional learning wellness, and engagement for African American students and families.
