We are looking for 14-18 years-old adolescents who are interested in participating in a free 12-week mindfulness training, in which they will learn self-regulation skills (breathing, yoga-based movements, meditation) OR a free 12-week psychological education training that can help them better regulate emotions (with a random assignment to one of the groups).

The groups will meet once-per-week for 1.5 hours online on Thursdays OR Fridays via Zoom, starting in June.

Participants will also undergo a 1-hour MRI scan before and after the training.

MRI scans will take place at a state of-the-art UCSF facility at Mission Bay.

Participants will receive up to $220 in gift cards for completion of the study.

Dates: 

Thursdays and Fridays (June through September)
