Clinical Considerations for Mindful Awareness for Youth
Dr Michelle Kirkland’s newest article has been published. In this chapter, published in the Reference Collection in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Psychology, Dr. Kirkland and her co-author discuss the origins and modern-day applications of mindful awareness (MA); an increasingly popular intervention for children and adolescents dealing with things like anxiety, depression, and general emotional and behavioral dysregulation.
They discuss the current evidence-base for mindfulness-based interventions, including adaptations for special populations and considerations for enhancing the ability of this tool to improve the quality of life of youth.
