School Ment Health July 2, 2023
Pupils in a mindfulness-informed school-based intervention reported non-positive experiences, including boredom, frustration, and discomfort during mindfulness exercises. The study documents these negative reactions to show that mindfulness programs in schools can produce adverse effects, not only benefits. The authors suggest that such experiences should be acknowledged and addressed in program design and implementation.
