Mindfulness & Emotional Well-Being is a nurturing, supportive class designed to help students build self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and inner resilience. This course gives students space to slow down, connect with themselves, and develop practical tools for navigating both everyday stress and big emotions. It’s a time for reflection, honest check-ins, meaningful conversations, and cultivating a healthy mind.

Students will explore themes such as:

• Emotional Regulation:
  Strategies for calming the nervous system, understanding the fight-or-flight response, and returning to balance after challenging moments.

• Self-Care & Well-Being:
  What self-care actually looks like, how to create supportive routines, and how to honor both the mind and the body.

• Confidence & Inner Strength:
