Mindfulness and Stress Relief in Schools with The Y* 
Many schools and organizations are incorporating mindfulness as a way to help students and staff focus, concentrate, be more present and improve social skills. Our Mindfulness and Stress Relief for Schools Programs help teach the basics of mindfulness in a fun, entertaining way.
In this program, students and teachers learn mindfulness exercises and stress relief techniques that will help them focus, concentrate, self-regulate, act, react and interact, more mindfully. Our lead presenter, Heather Bloodworth, an internationally trained Mindfulness Meditation Teacher and Speaker, shares simple, memorable stories in an interactive format that brings mindfulness principles and practices to life.  

*Schools have gotten Social Emotional Wellness grants or Health and Wellness grants to bring us in. 
The Y can focus on material specific to your school. Covering beginning strategies and knowledge of mindfulness to help reduce stress, anxiety and conflict.
