Tested during the stressful summer exam period, those students who participated in a mindfulness meditation program reported fewer depressive symptoms, lower stress and greater wellbeing than the young people in the control group.

Almost 80% of the young people also said they continued mindfulness practices after completing the course, suggesting long-term benefits from learning these skills.
