Young Adults

Mindfulness courses for college-aged students and young adults
Overview

Our Mindfulness for Young Adults programs help young adults learn how to manage stress and develop the wisdom needed to guide important life decisions. We use the Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults curriculum, designed to be both approachable and practical for the busy 18 to 29-year-old.

College students and young adults have more choices today than ever before, causing toxic amounts of stress evidenced by alarming anxiety, depression and suicide rates. The ability to calm mental chatter can be a crucial skill to combat these stressors. MIEA students are less stressed, sleep better and live with greater mindfulness and self-compassion.

Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults developed this evidence-based curriculum using extensive research by Duke University psychiatrists Holly Rogers, MD, & Margaret Maytan, MD.

Taking the MIEA course includes lifetime access to the companion app.

Goals of the course include:

  • Improvements in quality of sleep
  • Skills for managing anxiety
  • Less stress
  • Improved focus
  • Emotional regulation
  • Resilience

What does a typical lesson look like?

Our 4-week sessions are delivered once per week for 75 minutes, and are usually implemented into a college or university environment. These courses introduce various mindfulness practices, which participants to “taste and see” for themselves what works for them. Homework between classes is usually 10 minutes of mindfulness practice per day using the MIEA app.

We also offer two 3-hour MIEA retreats each year, in the spring and fall. These retreats are beginner-friendly introductions to mindfulness, and include extended periods of silence. Sitting periods will be alternated with movement practices.

What To Expect

  • Regular check-ins with MIEA teacher
  • Lifetime access to the MIEA App 
  • Ongoing communication available with MMP Teacher for support

I learned that you can use mindfulness anytime you need it like when I get mad and it calms me down and when I go to bed and think about stuff in the day.

I think I will pay more attention to eating. Food is important and I want to show more appreciation/mindfulness with each bite.

I'll try to rely more on the grounding I gained to help calm me instead of less healthy tactics.
