Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR-T) is a skills based approach for teens to manage stress in their daily lives. Mindfulness is about paying attention to the present moment with an increased awareness and a focused quality. Examples of experiential learning include: Body Scan, Walking and Sitting Meditations, Mindful Stopping, and Mindful Homework/Test-taking. It will include mindfulness homework such as daily practice, parent engagement, and a 3-ring binder with materials for the student.
RHP/REN has the opportunity to host an Introductory MBSR-T program for 3 weeks prior to Spring Break on March 6, 13, and 20, on Tuesdays from 4:00-5:30. Our RHP parent
Christina
Morse is a Mindfulness Facilitator and trained in teaching MBSR-T. Mindfulness practice fosters concentration, understanding, learning and patience. When we are more mindful, our actions more likely reflect our values and wisdom than a reflex emotional reaction. To put it simply, it's exercise for the brain! If you might like more information about the workshops please contact

Estefani Hernandez
"In a few short months, I will have to say goodbye to both of my parents as I go off to college. However, this time around, we will be separated for much longer over the course of four years. Although I am looking forward to continuing my education, the thought of leaving them does scare me. Saying goodbye this time around may be a little harder, but I am quickly reminded of how I managed to live without my dad for two months and I can see that I am fully capable of living on my own. I am seventeen years old now, and if my five-year-old self was able to do it then, I can do it now."
