“Using Mindfulness-Based Practices With Youth in School Based Settings: An Overview”
Presented by: Mary Carol Dearing, LCSW-R
In this workshop we will explore the rising popularity of mindfulness in popular culture and in the field of mental health. Participants will learn to appreciate the “natural fit” between mindfulness and working with youth, and learn how mindfulness practices can strengthen attention, self-regulation and compassion. Participants will develop an understanding of the different ways they can integrate mindfulness-based interventions in the school setting. A portion of the workshop will be experiential in nature.
