Glenbard Parent Series webinar to explore how self-care and mindfulness empower youth

On Wednesday, Feb. 15, the Glenbard Parent Series: Navigating Healthy Families will present "Take in the Good: Skills for Staying Positive, Reducing Stress and Living Your Best Life" with Gina Biegel during two webinars.

Whether young people encounter sensory overload from electronic devices, cyberbullying or academic pressures, they would benefit from practicing self-care.

Choosing to focus on positive experiences has beneficial lasting benefits. Acquiring skills in mindfulness techniques will help young people feel empowered to take control of their well-being. Making self-care practices part of their routine, teens will discover life-hacks that bring relief. Biegel's teaching will help students increase self-esteem and live with renewed hope and enthusiasm.

Biegel is a psychotherapist, researcher, speaker and author who specializes in mindfulness-based work with adolescents. She is founder of Stressed Teens, which offers mindfulness-based stress reduction for teens and author of several books, including "Be Mindful & Stress Less."
