About This Course
The effects of stress on teens’ mental and physical health today are enormous. Stress does not discriminate. Stress is impinging on ALL youth regardless of race, sex or class! Fact: 1 in 5 youth 13-18 years of age have or will have a serious mental illness. Now that we recognize the problem lets discuss a solution. Join Gina M. Biegel, LMFT, the founder and creator of MBSR-T for an intensive seminar that provides proven intervention strategies, essential treatment tools, and behavioral techniques to use with all adolescents. The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Teens Program (MBSR-T) is an evidence-based efficacious therapeutic treatment approach for teens in both clinical and non-clinical settings. Gina will teach you how to use her evidence-based, cutting-edge approach directly after the training. You will have a myriad of therapeutic tools to walk away with. By attending this engaging 2-day online training, you will be able to teach teens how to shift their thinking away from impulsive, thoughtless, and judgmental ways of reacting to life and teach them to mindfully respond. Mindfulness skills provide teens with an anchor and compass to guide them when they feel emotionally dysregulated, stressed, anxiousand depressed. Teach teens to live rather than just exist in an ever-increasing multi- media stimulated technological environment. MBSR-T will help teens:
Shift from reactivity and impulsivity to thoughtful responding
Move from feeling powerless to feeling a sense of agency and control
More accurately perceive and appraise stressful situations
Decrease negative harmful judgments
Increase positive coping strategies and decrease self-harming thinking and behaviors
Increase and maintain an overall since of health and well-being
