“[Mindful Studies] provides hope, clarity, and acknowledgement of the things that have impacted our lives, positive and negative. We’re given coping mechanisms to use in times of distress and a safe space in which we can receive non-judgement from our teacher and classmates. It’s a new and improved way to process and cope with the pain of everyday life.”
