Conclusion: movemindfully is impactful; for the adults who are learning and leading the strategies as well as for students and the school culture. View Brief
Youth are surveyed before and after participation in MoveMindfully sessions. Nearly 150 surveys have been completed, with 84% of youth reporting feeling improved moods after these sessions. Youth overwhelmingly report feeling “more relaxed and calm” after these groups and describe using these techniques to help “calm down or fall asleep” when not in group. These practices allow youth to be more present to work on their treatment and school goals and to avoid behavioral problems. Youth are requesting materials to use when they leave the JSC so they can continue using these techniques at home.
