Description
In this session, we will provide guidelines to help practicing clinicians successfully adapt and implement mindfulness-based school interventions (MBSIs) with underserved youth. First, we offer recommendations for clinicians to enhance underserved youth's engagement with MBSIs. Next, we give an overview of implementation approaches that clinicians could use for increasing access to mindfulness-based interventions in school settings. We discuss strategies clinicians might use when working with teachers to effectively implement MBSIs with underserved youth in their classrooms.
