Make a Difference
We created Kind Mind, a secular mindfulness program specifically designed for the school environment. In 2019, we partnered up with an Elementary and a Junior High School seeking a more comprehensive program by integrating mindfulness into daily routines and social emotional learning curriculums. We brought together facilitators and researchers highly experienced in bringing mindfulness to classrooms. We trained 30 people how to facilitate mindfulness in schools. We expanded into a second elementary school in 2020, and in 2021-22 we also provided restorative conflict resolution and supportive relationships on the playground. We are working with school administrators to find the best ways to benefit each unique school.
Your investment will allow Kind Mind to teach students self-awareness, compassion, kindness and restorative practices that can lift stress and anxiety and bring happiness and resilience; to support teachers to infuse mindfulness into their classrooms and schools; and to develop long-term strategies to sustain a mindful school culture.
