Mindfulness Resources

In collaboration with Maxie, Leona , and Conrad

How can mindfulness be implemented in schools?

• Whole-class mindfulness sessions (daily or weekly)
• Individual opportunities for students to engage in mindfulness-based practices (a mindfulness centre in the classroom where students can use apps and headphones)
• Designated areas for students to self-engage the strategies explored in the whole-class sessions (a special chair or corner where students can sit and implement strategies)
