In part five of our six-part series on Anxiety in Schools, Heather Jones, PhD, clinical supervisor at Rogers Behavioral Health, discusses the benefits of mindfulness as a way to reduce anxiety and increase awareness of your surroundings and those around you.

The Benefits of Mindfulness

Worry, fear, meltdowns, inability to concentrate, refusing to go to school. Students’ outward behavior can often indicate an internal struggle with anxiety. And as the most common emotional disorder affecting kids today, anxiety is having an impact on thousands of classrooms nationwide.
