What is Peace of Mind?

How can we use mindfulness as a tool for racial justice?

Tune in to Peace of Mind Founder Linda Ryden’s keynote to find out more. 

Peace of Mind is a teacher-created, evidence-based program that supports mindfulness-based social and emotional learning in PreK through Grade 5.  The Peace of Mind Program helps children develop life skills to notice and manage challenging emotions, build healthy relationships, solve conflicts peacefully, and address social justice issues.  Peace of Mind moves schools toward kindness and inclusion.

Peace of Mind stands for equity, justice and peace.  Black lives matter.

I started using the curriculum and it’s wonderful!  The lessons are easy to follow and very well thought out.  The curriculum fits well with the Mindful Schools training that I did a few years ago.  I’m very pleased with my purchase.
