Within this session, the framework of the workshop will be set to discuss the importance of supporting the needs of all students with Mindfulness practice to ensure it is a trauma-informed practice. We will discuss how this can be achieved by applying a safeguarding Mindfulness approach to teaching and programme development. Participants will view current research supporting nature-based activities as a means to connect with the natural environment, promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall mental health. This workshop has a practical component, with participants encouraged to apply a nature-based Mindfulness practice. Participants will be encouraged to reflectively evaluate the effectiveness of the Mindfulness activity they participated in. The workshop will culminate with participants exploring how nature-based Mindfulness practices can be integrated into a school as a whole school approach or the school curriculum to foster the positive mental health of all students within the school setting.
