Mission Statement
Minds is a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 2013 to teach mindfulness and social/emotional learning practices to students, educators, and parents in the DC area to improve mental and physical health and yield better behavioral and academic outcomes. Our mindfulness teachers are well-vetted and highly trained by Minds to use creativity and kindness to engage classrooms and educators.
About This Cause
Minds Inc. teaches evidence-based mindfulness practices in DC-area schools to help children, educators and parents reduce stress, regulate their emotions, thoughts and behaviors, and cultivate greater well-being and compassion. Mindfulness is a specific method of training the mind to pay attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental way. Cultivating a mindful quality of attention increases a person’s ability to be with their experiences and respond more skillfully to whatever is happening, rather than being hostage to a cascade of automatic physical, mental, and emotional reactions. A growing body of research in the fields of neuroscience, developmental psychology, public health, medicine, and education points to the promising effects of mindfulness practices on our mental and physical health and well-being. At Minds, we give children and adults the lifelong tools to deal with difficult thoughts and emotions with compassion and without judgment. As they learn mindfulness practices, they are empowered through deeper connections to themselves and others. This awareness in turn affects how they see and act in the world, multiplying the positive impact outward.
