Smiling Mind
“Smiling Mind is a unique web and App-based program developed by a team of psychologists with expertise in youth and adolescent therapy, Mindfulness Meditation and web-based wellness programs. Smiling Mind is a free tool that will assist in improving the lives of young Australians, and is available online or as a smartphone App.
In recent years, Mindfulness Meditation has surged in popularity for use in the treatment of stress, resilience, anxiety, depression and other physical and mental illnesses. Highly regarded institutions such as UCLA, Harvard, Oxford, Monash and Melbourne Universities have developed clinical studies into the positive impacts of Mindfulness Meditation.
Smiling Mind’s mission is to provide accessible, life-long tools based in mindfulness meditation. Creating happier, healthier and more compassionate young people.”
This is not only for very young people. It has progressed to include a corporate program, but of course this is not free.
