Welcome to Mind Matters Minutes and Me & My Emotions, two projects of The Dibble Institute.
Mind Matters Minutes is a new virtual tool for teachers and other facilitators to use with youth in both virtual and in-person settings. The videos provide teachers and direct service providers with practices from the Mind Matters curriculum that can easily be shared with young people. Each practice presents a skill to reduce reactivity and build resilience.
Moved by a desire to reduce youth’s toxic stress and increase their resilience, The Dibble Institute, in partnership with a team of students and alumni from ArtCenter College of Design and author Carolyn Curtis, PhD, also created Me & My Emotions—a new, mobile-friendly version of the Mind Matters Curriculum. Featured here are the skills practiced in those lessons.
Each short video (under 10 minutes) provides:
• A brief introduction
• Experiential practice
• Questions to prompt youth engagement
