Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) is offering a one-credit class, “Mindfulness for Academic Success” (SDS 103), taught by Wendy Barron, professor of media communications and certified mindfulness instructor.

The class will meet remotely 2:20 - 3:41 p.m. Wednesdays, the first 10 weeks of the LCCC semester, starting Aug. 26.

The course is designed to address the stress that college students feel and will help them gain the tools to monitor their reactions to stressful situations, reduce worry about school, work and family, focus more effectively when reading, studying and taking tests, and learn to live in the present.

Specific topics include recognizing worry and what to do about it, learning to respond rather than react to anxiety and fear, reflective writing and techniques to calm the mind in ever-changing environment and circumstances.

The course is open to LCCC students. Registration is ongoing. Payment is at time of registration.
