    This document summarizes a proposed 8-week yoga and mindfulness program for children in a mental health facility. The program aims to decrease stress and develop coping skills through twice weekly yoga and mindfulness sessions. Data will be collected before and after each yoga session, as well as at discharge, to measure changes in mood, body feeling, and stress level. The goal is for children to utilize these skills long-term to improve mental health and quality of life. Preliminary results from a similar program found mostly positive changes in 70% of children.

    EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE

    Evidence-based practice is the process of applying the results of outcomes of


    research to improve day-to-day therapeutic recreation services to clients. Evidence-
    based practice is the collective, well researched wisdom about outcomes that can be
    expected from standardized clinical intervention. The primary motives behind are to
    reduce risk and increase quality of care as much as possible.
    Evidence-based practice is best achieved through meaningful, standardized, and
    integrated treatments for which there is some evidence of efficacy. This evidence must
    be gathered through well-designed and meaningful research efforts with clients and
    groups and be applicable to daily practice.
    IMPORTANCE OF EVIDENCE-BASED
    PRACTICE

    in practice.
    It eliminates the worst practices and and embraces the best
    practices
    Improves the quality and standard application of care for the
