Grounding plays a vital role in mental health and wellbeing by addressing various psychological challenges and providing practical tools for emotional regulation. Beginning a group session or one to one interaction with grounding is important for the following reasons:

1. Establishing safety and trust
2. Transitioning from one session to another
3. Creating a Supportive Atmosphere

In essence, starting a groupwork or one to one session with a grounding activity creates a supportive and conducive environment for effective work, enhancing the overall experience for Students.

Students in Turas can attend up to six sessions per day, including breaks involving interactions with other groups. These interactions may influence energy levels, group dynamics, and potentially contribute to a sense of haste. Initiating a grounding session at the beginning of a session can assist students in becoming present in a new space.

Moreover for groups that include individuals with a history of trauma, beginning with grounding aligns with trauma-informed care principles. It establishes a safe and predictable environment, minimising potential triggers.
