We have been learning about mindfulness-based stress relief supports in our classes. Our goal is for students to learn about various techniques to help them balance stress and feel their best.
Try out some of the breathing techniques we have tried, here, and here, or check out some apps that you can use to practice with your teen at home.
Resources/apps: Headspace, Calm, Stop/Breathe/Think.
