MANAGE STRESS

Mindfulness can help teens become aware of how they deal with stress. Not all ways of coping with stress are helpful.  Developing healthy ways of coping with stress  is part of the mindfulness programme.

 FIND BALANCE

Human beings spend a lot of time in their heads, thinking. When we spend so much time thinking we are not able to enjoy the present moment. Mindfulness can support teens to develop a school/life balance. Spending quality time with friends and family  can help life to feel more balanced.
