Mindful Compassion for Teens

Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T) is an evidence-based 8-session program that helps youth develop resilience, emotional well-being, and healthier ways of relating to themselves.

Through age-appropriate activities, mindfulness practices, discussions, and guided meditations, participants learn practical skills to:

• Respond to life’s challenges with kindness and self-compassion
• Recognize and understand difficult emotions without self-judgment
• Build resilience and cope with stress more effectively
• Develop a sense of connection and belonging with peers
• Cultivate greater emotional balance and confidence

Research has shown that Mindful Self-Compassion can improve emotional well-being, reduce stress, and strengthen resilience. Teens leave the program with lifelong tools to navigate the ups and downs of adolescence with greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and compassion.

The program is led by Natalie Sobel, RSW, a trained Mindful Self-Compassion teacher with specialized training in Mindful Self-Compassion for Teens (MSC-T).
