Mental Health Education for All

Educating the next generation is a great responsibility; a role with the potential to provide exceptional fulfillment. However, due to the current state of many school systems and the lack of resources to adequately navigate life challenges, that potential is often replaced by less than favorable outcomes. While many external factors can be out of our control, we can help prevent and spot symptoms of trauma related to ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) by teaching mindfulness in schools. Our trauma sensitive programming and approach, creates strong internal resources for well-being, stress-reduction, and resilience that transforms the classroom experience for both teachers and students. In this presentation, we’ll cover: 1) Who we are and why we do the work we do; 2) An overview of what trauma is and how to regulate stress; and 3) Our impact and actionable ideas for bringing our practices to your students
