A Mindfulness-Based Course for Teens & Young Adults
Course Description
Many teens and young adults are challenged with increasing demands they face each day, and risk of exhaustion, depression and anxiety in youth is on the rise. Mindfulness can help.
In this course, participants will learn healthy ways to approach challenges. Participants will explore mindfulness through a variety of experiential exercises. This will help them to develop greater present-moment awareness and the ability to respond with compassion, kindness and curiosity rather than automatically react to the stressors in their lives.

What teens are saying...
"Revive helped me realize a few things about myself and gave me tools to bring myself back to the present. Not to stress about the future and that what I was feeling was ok to feel, even if there was no reason for it. Working through the course with Laura Baltodano was an eye opener and I can't wait to continue to find myself and allow myself to feel what I feel with no shame and to keep myself in the present with the people I love.”
“I would recommend this class because joining this has allowed me to see more of the good in things, and enjoy more happy moments. It also has allowed me to feel lighter and less overwhelmed! I think this class is a great step into becoming less worried about life!”
