Finding Bliss: Developing a Culturally Relevant Midfulness Intervention for Urban Youth

• In Event: CLT- Underserved Intersectionalities

Short Description

This session will focus on a study conducted to explore the effectiveness of a mindfulness intervention intentionally created for low income, urban students attending a Title I elementary school. Young’s Culture Based Model and Keller’s ARCS Model were used as frameworks to develop an e-book entitled Finding BLISS that taught key concepts of mindfulness and allowed for mindfulness practice. Audience members will share strategies they have used to develop culturally relevant instruction.
