Mindfulness and coping skills

Mindfulness, in simple terms, is the state of being conscious of something and focusing your awareness on the present moment.

When you're practising mindfulness, you're also calmly aware of your thoughts and feelings.

There are a number of digital apps that help bring the concept and practice of mindfulness into your lives and your home.
