An Arizona headquartered 501c3 committed to mental health education and wellbeing literacy, Mindfulness First offers trauma-informed Mindful Awareness and Social-Emotional Learning programs based in neuroscience, which equitably support kids, adults, and businesses with tools to manage stress and navigate life’s challenges. Founded in 2013, Mindfulness First began developing trauma-sensitive mindfulness based prevention programs that provide Protective Factors which promote mental health wellbeing and reduce the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The impact of difficult childhood toxic stress can cause some of the most prolific health struggles in America, not to mention the increased risk of poor educational outcomes. While many vulnerable children were already grappling with the mental health crisis before the pandemic, the situation has never been more dire than it is right now. Our prevention based programs will help mitigate pandemic and pre-pandemic related trauma, psychosocial struggles, and prioritize mental health education in schools for years to come. 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 specializes in Mindfulness Based Social-Emotional Learning (MBSEL) and has provided mindfulness services and expertise to schools, districts, and organizations such as Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizona Department of Education, Bureau of Land Management, General Motors, and lululemon athletica.
