About the Course
At a time when students are facing or moving through ‘school transition’, this short course offers an opportunity for students to ‘dip their toes in mindfulness’, exploring the ways in which this might support them through the highs and lows of adolescent life.
The course was developed by Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP) as part of a large scale research project in the UK called ‘Healthy Minds’ Bounce Forward. The overall conclusions of this study were very positive, with statistically significant improvements across a full range of Health-Related Quality of Life, behavioural and emotional well-being measures.
This programme explores:
Attention
Training our skills and how to work with a wandering mind
Worry
Why we worry and how we can help ourselves when we do
Sleep
Why it is important and what we can do to sleep well
Being with Others
Working skilfully with friendships and other relationships, in person and online.
