As part of a holistic recovery program, it works in tandem with traditional treatment to address the physical, mental and spiritual disease of addiction. With the pressures of college life, students are at a heightened risk for addiction; this is an intersection we cannot afford to miss. Come experience an Y12SR meeting and discuss ways in which it could work in your context.

Can we Cultivate Resilience and Social Responsibility in the Classroom?
Social responsibility takes for granted self-efficacy, agency and motivation – qualities our students may not yet have. In our courses, “Mindfulness & Compassion” (@UVA) and “Accelerated Learning English Composition-I” (@CCBC), we each target student growth and building of their capacity for self-knowledge, self-care, and – ultimately, we hope – social responsibility. We both also work with Faculty Learning Communities at our institutions to share ideas and offer support across the disciplines.
This session will engage participants in an active dialogue about the ways in which we can provide learning opportunities for faculty and students that nurture agency, self-compassion, and capacity for social responsibility.

Mindful Moments and Joy: Leading Change Gently
In this session, based on an evolving action research project, teaching action research, and processual change theory, we offer alternative approaches to the integration of mindfulness and social justice on campus. Rather than training people in methods that they experience as extrinsic, we create space and build capacities to notice moments of waking up, richness, and purpose. Our process has been allowing change to emerge in an open-ended and self-organizing way through inquiry, encouraging individually-crafted approaches, and providing a sense of direction—a path. Together, we will inquire into what kind of leading and processes are conducive to such gentle, yet powerful change.
