MINDFULNESS FOR TEEN DEPRESSION

When teens with depression struggle with sadness, loneliness, and lack of motivation, it's important for them to know that it isn't their fault and it doesn't define them—and that there are steps they can take to feel better.
With this workbook, teens will learn effective skills based in mindfulness and positive psychology to help them manage difficult emotions, gain distance from negative thoughts, and enhance awareness of the present. They'll also find useful exercises like meditations and yoga—plus healthy eating and sleeping tips—to help them care for their bodies and minds. This book will empower teens to feel better, more energized, and start reaching for their goals—one step at a time.
