Mindful Teen: From Surviving to THRIVING! is a six-lesson workshop series for youth in grades 7-12 based on the book The Mindful Teen: Powerful Skills to Help You Handle Stress One Moment at a Time by Dr. Dzung Vo. The program can be implemented both in-person or virtually, empowering youth and equipping them with practical strategies and mindful practices to manage stress, difficult emotions, and improve and support their overall well-being.

Iowa 4-H Youth program staff should work with the Healthy Living priority area team to receive training prior to administering this program.

Youth-serving organizations and volunteers in Iowa will be encouraged to contact their local Iowa State University Extension and Outreach county office to explore partnership opportunities and curriculum training for administering this program.
