This way, you can implement the program either partially, by picking and choosing sections that seem relevant, or in full over a number of weeks…It provides application of mindfulness for different kinds of learning, and isnt limited to teenagers only! Adults benefit, too." – Lee Weber, "Himelstein and Saul offer a rich and highly practical guide while providing much more than a how-to book. Clearly based in research, personal mindfulness practice, and years of clinical experience, here is a raw, honest, fearless program that promises to engage adolescents from all backgrounds. Deeply rooted in both mindfulness practice and science, the program skillfully integrates meditation, skits, role-plays, psycho-education, metaphors, acronyms, stories, poems, and even formal debates, while offering clinicians a reliable structure and guidance balanced with trust in ones own clinical expertise and personal mindfulness practice. This is the resource so many of us have been seeking, and this is a program that will undoubtedly change the course of countless young lives. A deep bow to my colleagues."– Sarah Bowen, PhD, assistant professor of psychology at Pacific University in Portland, Oregon, and author of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention: A Clinicians Guide"Imagine taking the extensive experience of someone who has helped a range of high-risk youth, combining this with the ancient practice of mindfulness training, and then weaving these together beautifully with steps proven by science to help enhance emotional well-being and reduce self-destructive behaviors.
