Over the past decade, the mindfulness and youth field has grown from a handful of isolated teachers to a national movement working to integrate mindfulness practices into school-based settings, youth and family services agencies and other sites. The vast majority of books and curriculum materials produced on teaching mindfulness to young people focus on younger, pre-adolescent populations. Many also focus disproportionately on the benefits of the practice without addressing the often significant challenges of implementing mindfulness programs in diverse school and community environments. This streaming video of an hour-long workshop workshop will focus on the real world implementation of mindfulness with urban, adolescent populations. It will provide an overview of the core skills and qualities needed to make mindfulness practices accessible to youth in a contemporary, urban, public school and/or community context. The goal will be to move beyond cooker-cutter curriculum and scripting and discuss real world approaches to making mindfulness practice relevant to youth using language and metaphors they can understand and connect with. Significant attention will also be paid to the roll of the facilitator in the delivery of successful mindfulness interventions to this population. Research support and theoretical underpinnings will be presented briefly, and time will be allotted towards the end for participants to bring candid, real-world problems from their own teaching to the facilitators.

Illnesses such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder typically onset during adolescence, and can negatively impact the development of brain networks subserving emotion regulation, attention, and cognitive flexibility. Therefore, psychiatric problems during the teen years can have long-lasting effects in many domains. On the other hand, because of the neuronal plasticity associated with this age group, interventions during adolescence can be especially effective and long-lasting. This session will review the prevalence of adolescent mood and anxiety disorders, and describe the brain abnormalities associated with each illness, as revealed through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) research. We will also discuss preliminary studies that find evidence of change in brain function following behavioral treatments.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Children (MBCT-C) is an innovative program designed to help children manage anxiety and stress with care and compassion.

Clinicians will learn ways to use the self-knowledge gained from his or her own practice to help children develop new ways of relating to the mind states that are characteristic of anxiety disorders. We will explore through discussion, role-plays, and experiential practices, ways that mindful awareness activities are taught to children.

The presentation will be dedicated to a unique primary school in South Tel-Aviv, where the Sfat HaKeshev program (Mindful Language, in Hebrew) became an important integral part of the school's life for the last 10 years. The program was integrated into the school's curriculum on a once a week basis, so that each class experiences the mindful learning throughout the whole year. In the last few years, kids graduating the school at the age of 13, have had mindfulness-based learning on a once a week basis throughout their whole school experience of 5-6 years. We'll present empirical findings of the “long term practice”, it's influence on kids, as well as the influence of the program on the teaching community. We'll outline a brief roadmap of the program principles, as well as a summary of the imagery-based mindfulness components, which the kids love so much.

Today's students are faced with information overload, heavy "screen-time," increased pressures to succeed, and growing stressors of the world. As parents and educators, we are encountering more ADHD in young people, more challenging emotional reactions, and our own pressures to provide good education in an increasingly challenging educational environment. Mindfulness is a simple, proven tool to reduce stress and anxiety, decrease depression, improve relationships and resonance with others, strengthen focus and attention, and support overall physical and mental well-being. Proponents of mindfulness recognize the need to teach to the "whole child" by addressing their social-emotional needs. Participants will learn (or be reminded) of the background of mindfulness, its current application in education, the benefits supported by research and neuroscience. Experiential practices will also be introduced so parents and educators will see the benefits for themselves as well as how mindfulness can positively influence young people in the classroom and at home.

Participants will gain an understanding of clinical implications, and practical applications of teaching mindful parenting thorough a literature review, case presentations, practice exercises, and discussion.

The human brain evolved in three stages: reptile, mammal, and primate. Each stage has a core motivation: avoid harm, approach reward, and attach to "us."

- [Amishi Jha - What the Neuroscience of Mindfulness Reveals](https://www.keystepmedia.com/shop/from-dazed-and-distracted-to-attentive-and-calm-what-the-neuroscience-of-mindfulness-reveals-amishi-jha-bhmy-2012/) - The mind's default mode may be one of mindlessness, mind-wandering, and distractibility. For students, this mode is particularly challenging when trying to read a book, complete homework, or pay attention in class. In addition to potentially derailing learning and academic achievement, there is growing evidence that the default mode of mindlessness has emotional consequences. Mind-wandering is tied to heightened negative mood and self-related preoccupation. Dr. Jha's presentation will examine if mindfulness training may be an antidote to pervasive mind-wandering. Brain-imaging data from a growing field of research will be reviewed which suggests that mindfulness training not only alters brain function during performance of attention tasks but may also change the way the brain functions ”˜by default', when participants are simply instructed to rest while getting their brains scanned. Results demonstrating that attentional task performance is improved and self-reported mind-wandering is reduced with short- and long-form mindfulness training will also be discussed. These cognitive neuroscience findings suggest that mindfulness training may, indeed, improve the brain'sability to be attentive and calm. Use of mindfulness training in education contexts should be further explored as a fruitful route by which to curb mind-wandering and promote learning in children and adults.
