Many counseling theories use the holistic approach in their application of unique therapeutic interventions, which mainly focus on thinking, feelings, and/or behaviors. However, in recent years, the terminology "holistic approach" has been examined in a new light. The new Holistic approach to counseling is built upon the belief that our mind, body, and spirit all interact to create our vitality, health, and purpose. In order to heal one part, we must acknowledge all three. Contrary to the common practice of counseling intervention focusing more on the client's difficulties and challenges, the focus of holistic counseling is to guide individuals to a lifestyle of optimal health and well-being in which body, mind, and spirit are integrated for a balanced and fulfilling life. Mindfulness technique is among one of the most researched approaches in the field of holistic intervention. It is essential for school counselors to be knowledgeable and stay current with the new approach to counseling and therapeutic intervention. This course is designed to help students explore various mindfulness techniques for not only preventive and therapeutic approach in schools but also as self-care. Offered every other year.
