Watch this recording and be able to teach teens how to shift their thinking away from impulsive, thoughtless, and judgmental ways of reacting and responding to life and teach them to build on the resources they already have inside. Mindfulness is an anchor for teens to turn to and use when they feel emotionally dysregulated, stressed, anxious and depressed. Teach teens to live rather than just exist in an ever-increasing multi-media stimulated technological environment. Provide more balanced approaches to reacting to life and helping shift the way teens perceive and appraise situations as stressful.
MBSR-T will help teens:
- Move from feeling powerless to feeling a sense of agency and control
- Decrease reactivity and impulsivity
- Shift from negative judgments and perceptions to non-judging with the use of the mindful qualities
- Increase positive coping strategies and decrease self-harming thinking and behaviors
- Increase health and well-being
Join Gina M. Biegel, LMFT, the founder and creator of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Teens Program (MBSR-T) to gain practical techniques to help your most challenging clients. She will teach you how to use her evidence-based cutting edge approach with your most challenging teens. Gina is a pioneer in bringing mindfulness to youth, from current brain imaging research at Stanford University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences Research, to a Positive Youth Development Program to Inner City Youth in East Palo Alto.
