Abstract: Centering the Student: Mindfulness Strategies for Academic Advisors

The escalating prevalence of mental health concerns on college campuses necessitates a collective effort to promote mental wellbeing. To assist advisors in developing confidence in this area, this workshop will explore the intersection of metacognition, mindfulness, and radical love by offering practical strategies that can be used individually or in group sessions. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, participants will discuss case studies, engage in group discussion, and apply strategies, growing familiarity with strategies which promote stress management, organization, memory, and self-compassion. Drawing from personal experiences and backed by research, the presenter who is both yoga instructor and academic advisor at a large research institution will advocate for integration of mindfulness practices into the academic sphere for development of empathetic, supportive environments which foster student success.
