Description
This thesis is based on a case study which explored the impact of a six-week mindfulness program designed with a two-fold purpose: to support the emotional work of alternative school teachers, and to assist in their management of stress. Overall, the study revealed a range of beneficial outcomes emerging in association with the mindfulness intervention, including a reduction in teachers' perceived stress levels. Participating teachers were highly supportive of the use of mindfulness as a professional development tool within the alternative school context. The study also suggests implications for the future use of mindfulness within this context.
