We love asking the students how they used their mindfulness lately. Minsfulness is so helpful when we want to go to sleep at night. It can help us with our worries, help us to relax and feel calm. This 3rd Grader has found a great way to use their mindfulness! #mindfulness #mindful #sleep

About us
Our mission is to teach children and adults practical skills and knowledge needed for lifelong mental health wellbeing. Mindfulness First offers evidence-based and trauma-responsive programs, which equitably support children, educators, and communities with tools to manage stress and navigate life's challenges. Mindfulness First has provided tools for lifelong mental wellbeing to schools, businesses and communities since 2013, with our major focus being K-12 public schools. We address mental health by teaching about the biology and neuroscience of stress and trauma to all ages. We combine this knowledge with life-long skills and tools that can help us to self-regulate and co-regulate, to process big emotions and feelings, and to improve not only our own health, but that of our community. This focus delivers scientifically proven 'protective factors' that help to prevent and break the cycle of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) or 'trauma'. Honored by the Huffington Post as a "Next Ten - a tremendous cause that will shape the next 10 years," Mindfulness First now offers onsite and online mindfulness courses and resources for individuals, children, parents, teachers, schools, businesses, and communities all over the world. Mindfulness First is proud to partner with the Arizona Department of Education as one of a select few organizations to be trusted with pandemic relief funding until September 2024, specifically intended to support the mental health of AZ K-12 schools. We are uniquely positioned to bring mental health education to schools thanks to ADE, and we are kindly inviting local partners to help us extend those services to as many Arizona K-12 children as possible during these difficult times. Additionally, we have provided our services to organizations such as Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizona Department of Education, Bureau of Land Management, General Motors, and lululemon athletica.

It's Mindful Monday! And today we are practicing gratitude. Can you name 3 things you are grateful for today? We are what we repeatedly do, and when we practice gratitude we start to look for what is good, more and more. #mindfulness #mindful #gratitude

What a great way to use your mindfuless practice. This 4th Grader used mindfuless to show themselves self-compassion when they were having a difficult moment with a sibling. Remembering that we all have difficult moments and we're not alone in our difficulties can make life easier. How did YOU use your mindfulness today? #mindfulness #mindful #selfcompassion

It's Mindful Monday! Let's do some balloon belly breaths. Put your hand on your belly, imagine your belly is a balloon and take some deep inhalations and exhalations. Inflate and deflate the balloon as many times as you like. #mindfulmonday #mindfulness #mindful

It's National Smile Day! Sometimes during mindful moments we invite participants to smile on purpose. Smiling releases hormones that make us feel good, helping us to have a lovely present moment. Share a smile today! #nationalsmileday #smile #mindfulness #mindful

Every time we start a lesson in a school we ask 'how did you use your mindfulness this week?'. Here's a 7 year old student sharing that mindfulness helps when they are feeling huge, difficult feelings of sadness and anger. Kudos to this young person for showing us how to regulate and care for ourselves and those around us! We believe mindfulness should be taught in every school; imagine what this could mean for society. ❤️ #mindfulness#mindful #traumainformed #mindfulnessinschools
