Abstract

Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are increasingly implemented in schools; however little is known about aspects of MBI implementation or what mindfulness skills improve as a result of the intervention. The current study systematically reviewed empirical articles from nine school psychology journals (2006 to 2020) that implemented MBIs in schools. The type of intervention implemented, mindfulness techniques taught, fidelity of implementation, and mindfulness skill growth for students were examined. Attendees will learn about MBI implementation in schools.
