Artification Toolkit for Caregivers
When you work with children and adults with profound needs, you need a deep well of tools to self-regulate and co-regulate. Many people are familiar with deep breathing or yoga. But have you tried artification? What is artification? For thousands of years, humans have used the common mechanisms of movement, sound, storytelling, and silence to return to psychological and social equilibrium; to repair and regulate. Beyond self-care, artificaton honors our need to connect more deeply with ourselves, others, and our values. When we feel truly seen, heard, and loved, our physiology can calm down, heal, and grow.
This 8 page toolkit contains activities to try yourself, with a peer or colleague, and with those in your care.
