Self-acceptance is vital for teens, and self-compassion is a method to work toward it. In this workshop, you will learn what self-compassion is, and how self-compassion tools can be taught to teens to help them support themselves through challenging times. Through acquiring these vital coping skills, teens learn how to be less self-critical, how to be their own inner coach or own best friend. In research studies, teens who participate in self-compassion programs report lower stress, anxiety and depression – and even less suicidal thinking - after the program is over and in the months that follow. An overview of this research will be presented in the workshop. The workshop will be interactive – you will learn self-compassion skills by engaging in activities and exercises, and discussion will follow. You will leave with a plan on how to implement what you have learned with the teens with whom you work.
