This is a fantastic opportunity for teenagers (15-18) to take part in a study by Oxford University, looking into an evidence-based mindfulness program.

They are looking for teens (and their parents/carers) who have experienced depression or anxiety and who have received treatment, to take part in an online 8 week mindfulness course supported by an app. The participants will be paid.

Here are all the details but I’d be happy to chat to anyone interested

Love

The Introducing Mindfulness course is a light touch introduction to the theory and practices of mindfulness. Created by the The Oxford Mindfulness Foundation, an international centre of excellence for research into evidence-based mindfulness courses, you will experience a safe and effective form of mindfulness training. It offers a brief taste of mindfulness practice and theory in a format intended to be accessible to anyone new to mindfulness, and who may be a little shorter on time.

This course is designed for anyone interested in exploring some key mindfulness themes and practices in ways that might support them personally, in everyday life and work.

What will you learn?
The course takes place over 3 x 1 hour sessions, each of which explores a core theme:
• Understanding the mind’s natural tendency to be scattered and to wander; how we can train attention to create choices about where and how we place attention, and how this can fundamentally shape our experience.
• Exploring different ways of being and knowing; recognising how much of our experience is shaped by thought; that other more experiential and observing modes are also available to us, and how we can learn to use them to help us flourish over time.
• Recognising the difference between reacting and responding; developing ways to create the space to make choices between them, and exploring how this understanding can shape our experience and the quality of our lives.

MBCT-L is a course for everyone who has an interest in cultivating mindfulness and compassion in daily life. We can all experience distress and suffering and we can all experience well-being and joy even in times of difficulty. This course will develop mindfulness skills through a range of practices and exercises that will help to better understand the nature of our mind. Recognising unhelpful patterns of mind and behaviour will be explored and learning more skillful ways of responding to experience will be covered over the 8 weeks. There is an emphasis on being kinder towards oneself, cultivating joy, and savouring the positive aspects of life.
