Abstract
Mindfulness has positive mental health effects. We explored the impact of being enrolled in a semester-long academic course about mindfulness on student’s mental health and well-being. Students became significantly more mindful and more self-compassionate, and their anxiety levels decreased, but there was no significant differences in their levels of depression.
