Episode 2
Dana Carsley from McGill University has conducted research which found that art based mindfulness activities can reduce a young person's test anxiety after just a 15 minute intervention.
In this episode Dana and Sarah Taylor-Whiteway discuss the ideas of mindfulness, the nature of anxiety and how we can use what we know to support young people before exams. We touch on how this can be applied in the classroom to make an impact even with novice mindfulness practitioners.
