Designed for staff, volunteers, and community members supporting refugees and other ORR-eligible populations, this micro-lesson introduces box breathing — a simple, four-count breathing technique you can use to calm your body and mind during or after a stressful moment. Part of Support Guide's Brain Break series, this lesson walks through what box breathing is and why it helps, then guides you through a short practice you can follow along with right now, or return to anytime you need a reset.
This is not mental health or medical advice; it's an optional practice offered to support your own well-being.
