Mindfulness for Military Teens
2021-04-14 02:00 - 03:00 UTC | via Zoom; please pre-register by April 5th!
Presented by the Steven A Cohen Military Family Clinic at Alaska Behavioral Health Register here: http://bit.ly/3vLiPv7 Military teens are high-risk for feelings of isolation, depression and anxiety with frequent moves, school transitions and worry about deployed parents all on top of the regular teenage stress in a rapidly changing world. This webinar will teach teens ages 12-17 about the effect of trauma and chronic stress on the brain through a hands-on art project (materials provided) and teach skills for mindfulness activities that have been shown to help combat the effects of stress and trauma. This webinar is the first of four presented as part of the Cohen Clinic's partnership with Hollister to address youth mental health.
