Are you looking for additional ways to support a child or other family member facing depression, severe anxiety, ADHD or eating disorders (anorexia/bulimia)? Have you heard about new research findings on specific practices that have been shown to help rewire brain pathways (e.g. mindfulness meditation, nutrition/exercise enhancements)?

Utah Youth Village is seeking research participants to evaluate a new series of family classes beginning in September, 2010. As a complement to other treatment efforts, each class will update individuals and families on current research regarding a variety of ways to facilitate recovery in their own homes, including in the cultivation of ‘mindfulness.’ As participants in this pilot, you will receive the entire class for free.

Classes include:

• Cultivating Attentiveness in the Home
  A course on mindfulness & lifestyle interventions for ADHD
• Moving Toward Freedom from Chronic Unhappiness and Fear
  A course on mindfulness & lifestyle interventions for depression/anxiety
• Equipping Families to Face Eating Disorders Together
  A course on mindfulness & lifestyle interventions for anorexia/bulimia

Classes are open to both adults facing these problems, and parents trying to help their child or adolescent.

For questions, to request a syllabus or to reserve your place, contact our Research Director and Class Instructor, Dr. Jacob Hess at (801) 308-1071 or via e-mail at jhess@youthvillage.org.
