Adolescence is a unique developmental stage during which physical, cognitive, social, and emotional changes occur simultaneously and the traumatic effects of adverse childhood experiences can be salient for the emotional and cognitive development of adolescents as they navigate and adjust to the social environment. Seventy-seven percent of Black adolescents have unmet mental health needs. Meeting these needs of Black adolescents is imperative as their mental health needs continue to grow and resources become increasingly scarce. Innovative, culturally acceptable, accessible programs are critically needed. A one-year PEACE yoga and meditation program was implemented in a public housing community in Birmingham, AL. Forty-eight adolescents were consented. There were no significant improvements found in the pre-and post-test scores on the Revised Children Anxiety and Depression or Perceived Stress Scale-Children questionnaires. Journal themes included: 1) Relaxation and Peace, 2) Happiness, and 3) Enjoyment. Focus groups themes included: 1) Relaxation and Peace, 2) Positive Coping Strategies(including improving mood, positive thinking and empowerment), and 3)Exercise. Staff members shared that even though there were barriers to implementing the program, there were many benefits to the program, and they felt it could be sustainable. Being embedded within a community center supported a keen understanding of the importance of utilizing a CBPR approach. The study is one of the first ever to implement a yoga and meditation program using a CBPR approach with Black adolescents living in a public housing community. The findings point to the potential major impact that it can have on the lives of those adolescents.
