Editorial Reviews
Review
“I am delighted to provide an unequivocal endorsement of Broderick’s “Learning to Breathe.” This program for adolescents is beautifully designed and hits all the right notes for teaching mindfulness as a tool to navigate the ups and downs of adolescence. Grounded within a developmental framework and clinical understanding of adolescent issues, Broderick’s book is user-friendly and will resonate with clinicians, educators, and parents alike. As a school social worker with experience of successfully implementing [the program] within a very diverse population, it is gratifying to have a program of this integrity that is compatible with multiple areas of the curriculum.” –Marjorie James, MSW, RSW, social worker with the Toronto District School Board
