Mindfulness and Meditation for Young People and Families One-to-Four-Session Individualised Mindfulness Course

Overview: This unique course is for young people ages 5-18, participating on their own, or with siblings or parents. Sessions are individualised to the family members participating and to the ages of the young people. Like adults, young people can be thrown off balance by stress, strong feelings or out-of-control thoughts, or find it difficult to focus. Young people face challenges such as peer pressure, exam stress and learning disabilities. Mindfulness skills are easy to learn and simple to put into practice. They empower young people to improve their ability to focus, to manage powerful emotions, such as grief and anger, and to cope more effectively with stress during school, everyday activities, and challenging times.
