Breathr
This app provides opportunities for teens to try out a variety of mindfulness practices, while also teaching them interesting facts about the brain science behind those practices. For example, did you know that regularly practicing mindfulness can improve your relationships with others? Or that it has been shown to change parts of the brain that affect memory, empathy and stress? Our aim is to show youth that mindfulness can be fun, easy to try, and that it can have very real benefits for their overall health and well-being.
