Klasey Consulting is partnering with Lincoln Families to bring this training to Alameda, Solano, Mendocino, Lake, Contra Costa, Humboldt, Tuolumne and Calaveras providers. While mindfulness has grown in popularity to support individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, etc., it’s starting to be recognized as a helpful tool in addressing substance use with system-involved youth and transitional age youth.
