What is taught in the YES! in High School Program?
Students learn to manage their emotions rather than have their
emotions manage them. They come to understand the working of
their mind, so they can navigate the chaotic influences of
modern life. They learn a healthy alternative to dealing with
stress rather than commonly used methods such as alcohol,
drugs, violence and sex. Students learn how a few minutes of
breathing in specific patterns each day can give them:
- greater mental clarity
- improved ability to focus on their school work
- a clearer idea of their purpose in life
- improved relationships with others
