I feel excited and thrilled to announce a new group I've started through meetup.com, Mindfulness Skills Meetup. The focus of the group is to learn about mindfulness, practice some mindfulness skills and meet like-minded individuals. At this time, we will meet once a month. The group will be informal and is not a therapy group, nor does it substitute medical or mental health care.

Last week, I had an opportunity to speak to a group of parents at a high school here in San Francisco. It was a privilege to meet some of the parents and get to share some knowledge and ideas about teens and self-esteem. During the presentation, I spoke about adolescent brain development, using some of the information from Daniel J. Siegel's work. So much is going on in a teen's brain and body at the same time! As a group, we brainstormed a definition for self-esteem, as well as qualities of high and low self-esteem. I also shared with the group some components that contribute to self-esteem, such as the home environment, community and the teen's own thoughts, feelings and perceptions. The presentation ended with some tips for parents on what they can do to help teens develop and access high self-esteem qualities. I appreciated the participation and engagement of the parents, teachers and students who were in attendance. I am grateful to have been invited to speak. I am hopeful I will have another opportunity to continue to connect with parents and teens at this and other high schools in San Francisco. |
