Abstract

We developed an innovative school-based MBI that combines SEL and yoga practices to work together synergistically to improve student mental health and well-being. The need for a formative evaluation was supported because logistical barriers resulted in fewer classes or only being able to teach the yoga or SEL portion, imposing limits on effectiveness. By 2nd semester, the CC program was overall well implemented with fidelity and engagement.
