ABOUT MBSRjunior
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction for Teenagers
MBSRjunior is a program specifically designed for teens to handle stress and cope with physical and emotional challenges. It is based on MBSR for adults with many inspirations from well-known “Mindfulness for Teens” practitioners (Dzung Vo, Gina Biegel, Christopher Willard, Daniel Rechtschaffen, Susan Kaiser-Greenland).
PARENTS & TEENS
To be a teen and to be a parent of a teen can be a challenging time in ones live. Many parents wish to support their child in becoming a self-confident, responsible and happy young adult. This is often even more challenging when school or health issues contribute to the regular chaos.
PHYSICIANS

SCHOOLS
Mindfulness in schools will be offered following the .b approach, starting in September 2018.

Being a teen can be unexpectedly stressful!
How can mindfulness help me with this? Mindfulness is a powerful way to handle stress. It’s about noticing what’s happening right here and now, sending a gentle smile to whatever you’re experiencing in this moment (whether it’s easy or difficult), and letting it go.
