Learning to BREATHE  (L2B) is a research-based mindfulness curriculum for youth audiences. The goal of the program is to improve emotion regulation, attention, and coping skills.  The mindfulness-based program teaches participants to experience the present moment with compassion and openness.

Learning to Breathe teaches mindfulness to young learners from 10 years old up to young adults. L2B can be taught in a classroom setting, youth group setting or virtually in 6, 12, or 18 sessions.

L2B is a component of WiROSE, a project of  the Division of Extension at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in partnership with the School of Medicine and Public Health, the School of Human Ecology, and the Great Lakes Addiction, Mental Health, and Prevention Technology Transfer Centers based at the College of Engineering. WiROSE is funded through a Rural Opioid Technical Assistance grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
