Changemaker Workshop: Holding Space

As part of Brave Step’s Changemaker workshops, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Jennifer Dean taught us the meaning of “holding space” and how to utilize this technique to create a safe space for those you care about. She also coached us on how to manage our own judgements while being present and set the tone for a kind, vulnerable and authentic space.

As we support those in our circle who are managing trauma, anger, grief, loss, depression as well as those who feel unseen and unheard, holding space can be an aid in not only building but deepening relationships.
