Mindfulness Based Interventions in Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

The implementation of mindfulness based interventions (MBI) in schools, including schools with multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), varies widely. Our team is interested in finding out to what extent interventionists can tailor an evidence-based MBI intervention dose as a way to meet the needs of students, teachers, and schools simultaneously.
