Event Series Event Series: Mindful Meditation

Mindful Meditation

Tuesday, May 7th @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm EDT

In this program for teens in grades 6-12, we will explore how mindfulness helps to change our relationship to stress, to meet ourselves and what’s happening more skillfully, and to strengthen our own inner friend and ally.

Each session we will learn a little more about mindfulness and how it works, one or two new practices, and use real life examples of how to apply mindfulness to the struggles and challenges that teens can learn to meet more skillfully.

Learning and practicing mindfulness is a protective factor and coping skill in the wellness of teens that can help them to meet themselves well now and at each stage in their development.

Registration is required for this program.
