Learning to Breathe in Campus Connections
We worked to understand the effects of mindfulness-based intervention on youth who are experiencing adversity who are enrolled in a mentoring program. In order to accomplish this, our team facilitates mindfulness group sessions, adapted from the Learning to BREATHE curriculum, within Campus Connections, a therapeutic youth mentoring program. Based on the night they attend the program, youth are assigned to receive mindfulness-only or mindfulness with an adaptive technological supplement including just-in-time supports and reminder messages.
