This resource is a culmination of research. It touches on many areas, such as the rationale behind teaching mindfulness traditionally in schools, many examples of where it happens around the world, and future research.

I must know these ethical standards because they will affect my everyday life as a human service worker. I must apply these to any groups as a human service worker. The people in my group will be my clients, so I must keep their privacy and adhere to the human services code.

I am giving some people the tools to be successful.
