Mindfulness for Stress and Well-being in University Students

The Mindfulness Training will be an 8-week course, with group-based online weekly sessions. The mindfulness training, translated and adapted in Urdu, includes 8 guided audio meditations and one introductory audio recording which gives the participants an overview and introduction of the forthcoming 8-week training (e.g what mindfulness is, some common terms used repeatedly). It also includes 8 chapters, corresponding to each week and a workbook to record home practice. The training will start with an online group session after which the participants will be emailed the 1st week's reading material (chapter 1), audio recordings (for that week), home practice (for that week). At the start of every week, the participants will be emailed the required material for that week. Online sessions will be conducted weekly. The participants will also be sent poems and/or quotations relating to the week's theme and based on the session proceedings.
