Calm Down and Mindfulness Strategies

Practicing mindfulness has been shown to reduce stress and increase feelings of compassion and empathy. As we all experience the ever-changing circumstances of COVID-19, the ability to practice mindfulness is vital. But what do we mean by “mindfulness” and how can we develop it?

Mindfulness can be thought of as building an awareness of yourself and others in the moment. Mindfulness helps us understand how we feel at any particular moment in time, and step back to recognize that the situation is just that: a moment. When students are mindful, they feel more comfortable and secure with themselves and with others.

This resource provides a step-by-step guide for students to practice mindfulness at home to help them not only manage the stress they are currently feeling, but to be able to navigate future challenges.
