Who should participate? High School Freshman & Sophomores
At Gals Institute, we believe mindfulness is a life skill that anyone could benefit from strengthening. Our mission is to provide prevention and take a proactive approach while teens brains develop and grow. We role model and teach teens early on the tools that we know effectively lower stress, anxiety, and conflict before having more severe struggles as adults. Some participants may join with specific challenges or goals; others use our programs to learn these life strategies.
