The Mindful Breathing Workbook for Teens
Teens learn breathing skills rooted in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), so they can stay grounded, find calm, and shift out of bad moods quickly. By developing their own internal strategies for managing stress, they will feel more empowered and in control—even when faced with difficult situations beyond their control.
It’s kind of like having their own stress-busting superpower!
