Story
The Mindfulness and Positivity Project began in 2016 with two teachers, a mental health professional, and a shared vision to empower students to find peace and happiness in an increasingly complex world. Initially, we focused solely on students, but soon realized the efficacy of our program relied on healthy, supportive adults practicing with youth. When parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors are given the tools to model these behaviors, everyone is more equipped to lead a life of happiness and flourishing.
Approach
Our curriculum uses evidence-based mindfulness and positive psychology interventions to teach educators skills that buffer the body's reaction to stress, enhance self-regulation, and improve the ability to examine thoughts and emotions. Participants develop simple strategies to enhance enjoyment, increase positive affect, generate self-compassion, regulate emotions, and experience what it means to truly feel at ease.
We build communities of well-being.
