Welltweens and Wellteens
An adapted MBSR program for tweens and teens.
In this eight-week course you will learn a specific way of paying attention to your breath, your body, your thoughts, your feelings, and the world around you. This way of paying attention is really powerful because when you can observe your thoughts and feelings, then you can choose what you say and how you act. And this can improve your life.
More than 30 years of research has proven that mindfulness increases executive function, attention and focus, reduces stress, anxiety and depression; and increases emotional regulation, self-esteem and overall wellbeing. Mindfulness is used worldwide in corporations (such as Google and Apple), and by professional athletes, artists, musicians, business people, teacher, lawyers, and healthcare professionals to enhance their performance.
