Do you have a teen who is stressed? Struggling with the pressures of teen life? Feels anxious, distracted, or overwhelmed?

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS? Mindfulness is noticing your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in the present moment without judgment

The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Teens Program (MBSR-T) will help teens 13-19 years of age learn simple yet effective mindfulness practices. During the 8 session course, participants will use the techniques of mindfulness to intentionally focus awareness and observations of their own emotions and behaviors from moment to moment. When inspiring awareness through mindfulness, we transform. We’re able to respond mind-fully, rather than react rashly. We feel more connected and less helpless. We find everything we do reflects the connection of our personal lives to all others. The objective of practicing mindfulness is to develop and strengthen one’s ability to focus attention and to be aware of the consequences of one’s feelings and behavior.

MBSR-T is an evidence based program. To read the research go to stressedteens.com/research-on-mbsrt
