Purpose: This workshop is
intended to introduce teachers
and clinicians to Learning to
BREATHE, a mindfulness
program for adolescents and
young adults. Specific techniques
for presenting and teaching
mindfulness will be
demonstrated. The workshop
will also offer a broad
introduction to the theory and
research behind mindfulnessbased interventions. Since those
who teach mindfulness must
experience mindfulness
themselves, the workshop
includes periods of mindfulness
practice for participants. Some
prior experience with
mindfulness is helpful but is not a
prerequisite for participation.
