In the course of my work over the past few post-pandemic years – at local schools and homeschool groups, the meditation center where I teach children’s mindfulness, adult meditation groups, and my family therapy practice – it’s become clear that one of the groups that's most in need of additional support, guidance, and skillful care is our Teens.
The residual effects of the pandemic, social isolation (and social media), climate anxiety, academic and peer pressure, and other factors are negatively impacting our teenagers’ mental health and wellbeing. While adolescence has always been a challenging life stage, teens are telling me now that they aren't sure they have the tools needed to bridge the divide between childhood and adulting – to pursue their calling, find their authentic selves, and flourish. Parents have shared that while there was plenty of support for early childhood, once their kids hit 13 years old, they began to really struggle – becoming untethered, uncommunicative, and detached.
A colleague of mine, meditation teacher Theo Morrison, reached out a few months ago voicing similar concerns. So we got to work creating an in-person mindfulness class for local Portland, Oregon teens that focuses on stress reduction, mindfulness, self-compassion, and resiliency building. Participants will learn tools and practices to help them thrive through this fraught and tricky life stage (and hopefully bring parents a little calm as well).
We're pleased to announce the first Mindful Teens PDX, beginning April 15, 2024!
If you have a teen, or know a teen in the Portland area who could benefit from a mindfulness practice tailored to this complex life stage, we’d love to have them join our class. To facilitate sharing and individual guidance, space is limited to 15 participants, so please register early to ensure a spot! Visit https://mindfulparenting.com/mindful-teens to check out the class schedule, format, teacher bios, and register by April 14, 2024.
Our teens need this support more than ever and we’d love to welcome them to Mindful Teens PDX!
