Human trafficking is modern day slavery, a human rights injustice that subjugates 4.5 million individuals who are trafficked worldwide in the sex industry, 98 percent of them are women and girls. Although research and literature magnifies the plight and voices of women and girls, the voices and experiences of men and boys are often not documented, leaving boys and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiences inaudible â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the invisible sub population. As such, we can clearly deduce that this is a serious public health, human rights, and social injustice issue impacting all members of society; thereby, enlisting all members of society to join together in standing against this criminal network that profits from the most disenfranchised in our communities.

Barry U Social Work Presents

Post-Master's Certificate onÂ Mindfulness and Therapeutic Practice

The psychological benefits of mindfulness have been established. While mindfulness has roots in ancient, Eastern practices, its benefits in promoting well-being are more appreciated than ever in the West. With increasing empirical support, the helping professions are incorporating mindfulness into their work with patients and clients. Clinical trials have demonstrated, among other things, that mindfulness significantly: decreases suffering from chronic pain, regulates disordered eating, improves sleep, enhances concentration, prevents relapse in substance abuse, increases immune activity, and reduces depression and anxiety. Furthermore, compelling neuroimaging research suggests that mindfulness, practiced regularly, makes measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress.

Module 1 Can be taken alone for reduced price. It will focus on self-care by developing your own mindfulness practice through yoga, meditation, and other mindfulness exercises. Module 2 Focusing on integrating mindfulness into your clinical work with clients. For more information contact: Dr. Ed Tucker at etucker@barry.edu Dr. Jennifer Williams at jwilliams@barry.edu
