YOUTH AND TEENS

giving kids tools for a happy life

Today's youth are more stressed then ever before. We are what Dr. Kristen Race calls,"A generation of stressed-out parents raising a generation of stressed-out kids." And, almost daily, we ask kids to focus, concentrate and pay attention, but we rarely teach them how.

Mindfulness can help.

​

Just Be Mindful offers in-school and after-school programs, as well as private sessions, to teach evidence-based mindfulness to youth in grades K-12.​

​

Our program utilizes curriculum from Mindful Schools, Mindful Life and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction for Teens (MBSR-T) including lessons on: 

• Body Awareness
