摘要

To begin to address the unmet mental health needs among school-aged children, the current study examined a youth wellness program aimed at providing youth with skills to maintain their wellbeing. Thirteen 5th grade students participated in a 6-week pilot focused on specific wellness topics (e.g., relaxation, yoga, gratitude and self-compassion, and emotion regulation). Results suggest it was feasible to adapt an evidence-based student wellness program developed for university students to be delivered to rising middle school students. Students who participated in the pilot reported improved wellbeing (i.e., optimism) and mental health (i.e., less stress/worry) relative to baseline. Data also suggest they were satisfied with the program and identified yoga, self-compassion/gratitude, goal setting/time management, and nutrition/movement as the most liked classes.
