Course Description:

This 2-day workshop will introduce mental health professionals and educators to the ways that mindfulness techniques can be adapted to work therapeutically and effectively with children and youth. The workshop will offer a broad overview of the theory and research behind mindfulness-based interventions. Activities and practices to use with youth will be presented, with opportunity to gain skill through peer practice and feedback from presenters. At the end of the program, participants will be able to implement effective mindfulness activities in both classroom and clinical settings.

Since those who teach mindfulness must experience mindfulness themselves, the workshop will also include periods of mindfulness practice for participants. Some prior experience with mindfulness is a prerequisite for participation in the workshop.
