Brief Summary: In recent years there has been growing interest in the well-being and mental health of college students driven by a significant increase in mental health problems within this population Several mindfulness interventions a technique to improve present moment awareness and emotional acceptance have shown positive results in improving mental health and developing healthy lifestyle habits in this group
