Mindfulness skills in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can help a child, teen, or young adult focus on the present moment instead of getting stuck in their own thoughts. When implementing mindfulness skills, it’s important to remember that they take time to develop, which is why practicing them often is vital.
This handout is a helpful tool that summarizes mindfulness skills, which include Wise Mind Breathing, What and How Skills, and One-Mindful. Parents, teachers, social workers, and mental health professionals can give this as a self-help handout or use it to supplement their DBT program.
