THE MINDFUL TEEN WORKBOOK

Between school, friends, dating, social media, natural disasters, and a
pandemic, teens are more stressed out than ever before. In this evidencebased
workbook, two physicians and a psychiatrist offer teens proveneffective
skills grounded in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR)
and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) to slow down, clear
their head, recover quickly from setbacks, develop stress management and
mindful communication skills, cultivate compassion for themselves and
others, and foster healthier relationships—online or IRL.
