Summary

This project will measure baseline stress among a group of youth in foster and kinship care. The investigators will implement a pilot program to target stress reduction by using an evidence-based group therapy technique teaching mindfulness skills. The investigators hypothesize that the mindfulness skills will help youth to reduce stress, which will be measured using psychological and physiological techniques.
