EDWARDSVILLE To help students struggling with grades, school and life in the midst of COVID-19, the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Education, Health and Human Behavior offered its students a virtual mindfulness class on Tuesday, Dec. 8.
“We thought it would be nice to give students a care package with goodies, an eye pillow for relaxing and offer a mindfulness session for them to connect to a smaller group,” said Wendy Weber, PhD, professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning. “During the class, we introduced a few concepts of mindfulness and meditation. We practiced breath and body awareness, and self-compassion.”
