Educational organizations are being impacted by the growing need for sustained student mental wellness support. Student populations are increasingly diverse and bring varied life experiences, challenges outside of the classroom, and additional stressors to their academic programs. In some educational contexts, such as legal education, the nature and course of study seem to elevate or accentuate some of these needs. Most educators are ill-prepared or unwilling to handle concerns beyond academic instruction and may unknowingly contribute to student stress instead of intervening and mitigating student concerns. In this study, I aimed to address student mental health among those suffering from high levels of stress or anxiety in a legal education setting by improving their stress management, self-compassion, general mental health, and self-care practices. The goal was to teach students mindfulness techniques and appropriate coping skills to benefit them in their course of study and careers.
