What Really Matters In Mindfulness Programs for Teens: Key Elements That Engage, Energize and Inspire Teens to Practice Mindful Awareness
Speaker: Heidi Bornstein; Stephen Chadwick
Format: Audio & Slides

Whether you are a teacher or an educational professional support worker (including guidance counselor, social worker, psychologist, youth worker, and educational assistant) designing your own program or implementing an existing mindfulness curriculum, this experiential workshop will assist you in realizing your vision, exploring the essence of teaching mindfulness to students in a school setting.

By cultivating and integrating mindfulness practice into education, students can experience life-enriching skills that support their learning and extend beyond the classroom. The benefits of mindfulness training for teens are three-fold: welldocumented stress management skills, as well as the clarity and self-awareness that unfold from the cultivation of concentration and attention.

A successful implementation program begins with the first crucial element: you the teacher, teaching what you know and sense from your own practice. It also includes creating a ground of receptivity for the training to be received by students and supported by staff and administration.
