Introduction to Therapeutic Measures in Class & Home

Short description

This module introduces scientifically validated techniques aimed at improving adolescents’ mental health through accessible practices that can be applied in both classroom and home settings. It focuses on non-clinical strategies such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), and breathwork techniques, all designed to enhance emotional resilience, reduce stress, and support cognitive and emotional development. These practices do not require professional intervention and can be independently applied by students, educators, and families. In addition, the module emphasizes the development of a healthy mindset and the cultivation of gratitude as tools to foster long-term well-being. Backed by extensive research, the strategies in this section are practical, scalable, and adaptable to various educational and psychosocial contexts. By integrating them into daily routines, adolescents can improve their self-regulation, mental clarity, and interpersonal relationships. The goal is to build sustainable coping mechanisms and promote a holistic approach to mental health during this critical stage of development.
