Reviews

Sam Himelstein has woven together lessons learned from his own challenging adolescence with his wealth of clinical experience and years of personal mindfulness practice-- all into one accessible guide for teaching mindfulness to teens from a trauma- informed perspective. He writes clearly and offers a wide variety of mindfulness activities and sample scripts that are seasoned with real- life case vignettes. Trauma- Informed Mindfulness with Teens is a valuable, user- friendly addition to the library of any mental health professional who works with adolescents.--Randye J.
