- Understanding the Importance of Intentional Breaks to Relax, Reflect, and Refocus
-
Participants
Haley Lips - Graduate students, Counselor Education
Description
In virtual, hybrid, and in-person learning spaces, students at any educational level can benefit from taking planned study breaks—or “brain breaks”—independently or as a group. When used in the classroom, these moments can foster community building, promote creativity and playfulness, and support holistic wellness. This session will engage participants in a series of “brain breaks,” explore the value of incorporating this practice into students’ lives, and explain how this tool evolved from a class participation opportunity into an international conference presentation for graduate students in school counseling.
