Mindful awareness is the capacity to pay attention to the present moment with curiosity and kindness. Just like daily tooth brushing protects your teeth, daily mindfulness practice provides a preventive measure for mental well-being. Mindfulness is foundational to physical, social, emotional, and behavioral health. Regular practice supports the mental wellness of children, families, and staff by reducing stress, fostering resilience, |and increasing compassion and connection with others.
