First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two versions of a mindful self-compassion program for adolescents aged 14-19. One focuses on formal practices (like meditation) and the other on informal practices (like self-kindness in daily life). Participants attend weekly online sessions for four weeks and complete surveys about coping, stress, anxiety, and school engagement. The goal is to see if these programs improve coping and mental health compared to a waitlist group.
