Happy March! As we’ve gained more sunlight in our days and the Spring season is quickly approaching, new beginnings are on the horizon. In March, we’re celebrating Social Workers Awareness Month to recognize and highlight the incredible innovation and dedication these frontline workers provide for our communities. In the spirit of the new season, we’d also like to warmly welcome NYS TINRC’s newest team members, Gwen and Brittny! We’re excited to collaborate and continue to uplift the principles of trauma-informed care across New York State together. In the coming months, we have new Tending the Roots training and Breath-Body-Mind courses, and we hope you’ll join us on our journey to holistic healing and wellness.
Warmly, The NYS TINRC Team

Breath-Body-Mind™ (BBM) is a program of evidence-based mind/body practices and breathing techniques developed by psychiatrist Richard P. Brown, MD, and Patrica Gerbarg, MD, which support mental health and wellness.
Practice Sessions
BBM’s virtual practice sessions teach basic and gentle techniques to calm, balance, and support the nervous system.
English classes are offered every Tuesday at 6 AM, 12 PM, and 8 PM.
