Summary

The goal of the proposed research is to support adolescent health through providing inclusive evidence-based programming that is in line with community needs. Specifically, the investigators aim to: 1) investigate the effects of mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) on adolescent mental health, 2) identify underlying mechanisms (e.g., engagement, stress physiology, emotion regulation) of MBI for adolescent health and wellbeing 3) identify facilitators and barriers of engagement in MBI for community adolescents.

Learning to BREATHE

Learning 2 BREATHE (L2B) is an empirically-supported, manualized mindfulness-based group program (Broderick, 2021). Participants attend 6 sessions of approximately 1.5 hours per session. "BREATHE" is an acronym: Body, Reflections, Emotions, Attention, Tenderness, Habits, Empowerment; each week's lesson is centered around one of the letters (week 1 encompasses both Body and the overall theme of the sessions, Empowerment). Sample activities of L2B include psycho-education on emotion and self-regulation, body scanning, sitting meditation, non-aerobic yoga, and walking meditation, designed to promote moment-to-moment awareness of mind-body experiences. In between sessions, participants are encouraged to practice brief mindfulness skills in their daily lives and to complete the "homework" assignments, such as an audio-guided body scan. Participants will have access to home-practice audio-recordings and will be queried about their completion of home-practice assignments.
