Mindfulness in Children and Adolescents

Our children and adolescents live in a busy, complex and rapidly-changing world. Sadly enough, it is estimated that up to one in five children experience mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. Nowadays across preschools, schools, homes and the community, great attention is given to how best to support the positive well-being of our children. Mindfulness has emerged as a popular strategy to not only address problems with anxiety and depression, but to avoid them altogether. American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City helps children and adolescents with Mindfulness to combat anxiety and depression.
