The Youth Mindful Awareness Program is a multi-site research project – led by researchers at Northwestern University, Vanderbilt University, and University of California Los Angeles – designed to help teens cope with stress and improve well-being through mindfulness-based practices. YMAP is actively recruiting 12-17 year old teens to participate in a brief 5-minute survey about current health (e.g. sleep, appetite, fatigue), moods, and worries. Survey participants may also be given the option to join YMAP’s Intervention Study, with the opportunity to be randomly assigned to the study’s mindfulness coaching program. Interested teens and parents can visit this link to submit a Survey Study interest form.  For more information, visit YMAP’s website www. youth-mindful-awareness-program.org, or feel free to contact Northwestern’s research team directly via email (ymap.nu@gmail.com) or phone (773-245-3176).
