Thank you for sharing.  This document is well-written and easy to understand and follow.  A great tool for youth.  I appreciate your work and that you freely shared this with everyone.  Thank you.

I love that mindfulness is being practiced and that information about physiology is being shared with youth.  A concern I have is that there are a few somewhat scary sentences about this physiology before the message about hope is introduced.  A great opportunity to consider adaptations that give us opportunity to explore how can we best deliver science and hope together to youth and families.

Amy, this was reviewed and approved by a team of child psychiatrists and piloted at two youth camps for foster kids. The feedback was all positive.  What content are you finding scary?
