He is author of The Mindful Teen: powerful skills to help you handle stress one moment at a time. 

There is a teen mental health “pandemic” that has been significantly worsened by the COVID pandemic.

Listen to this episode to learn about why we think it's happening and what you can do to help the teens in your life.

Mindfulness is not a panacea, but it can help teens, and all of us, move through difficulty in a healthier way. 

With teens in particular, it's important to model rather than tell them what to do. 

Sharing stories is also helpful in encouraging teens to try mindfulness.

Ultimately each of us comes to mindfulness in our own time. 

Enjoy a “SOBER” breathing space in the mindful moment offering.
