Understanding Mindfulness-Based Social and Emotional Learning Programs Through an Epigenetics Lens Description: Join our expert panel, Dr. Kim Schonert-Reichl, Dr. Molly Lawlor, and Marna Macmillan, as they discuss a pioneering research study examining the ways in which a mindfulness-based SEL program (MindUP) for middle school students can get “under the skin” and result in change in DNA methylation (aka social epigenetics) and stress physiology. Dr. Molly Lawlor describes the new MindUP middle school curriculum, and Dr. Kim Schonert-Reichl and Marna Macmillan describe the study. They will also share what this means practically, including providing strategies and resources for implementing SEL in the classroom as children return back to school.
