TRAININGS

Given the national mental health crisis and shortage of mental health professionals


GEM Wellness Collective offers presentations, workshops, and trainings to support organizations

attempting to address the unmet mental health needs of the community


GEM Wellness Collective can provide practical trainings for organizations looking to support their staff who may not be licensed mental health providers but are often placed in a role to provide empathetic support and care for patients.

Trainings, Workshops, & Presentations are Tailored to Your Needs

We are excited to offer SAF-T (Sensation Awareness Focus Technique) training to

individuals and organizations.


SAF-T focuses on moving sensations in the body. This technique is designed to produce a calming effect. It does not involve medication or hypnosis.

The goal is to alleviate negative sensations associated with anxiety, physical discomfort and relief of some pain symptoms.
