The Intro to Mindfulness curriculum is an evidence-based program that was studied in a randomized control trial (RCT) with university students and was developed at Duke University’s counseling center. In the RCT students were shown to feel less self-judgment, less stress, were more mindful and slept better.

During the program, students will learn 10 different skills to support mindfulness practice, practice 10 minutes daily and record a reflection in a logbook, engage with a gratitude practice and select a daily mindful activity.
