Empowering At-Risk (ACE) students

Active Mindfulness for a Brighter Future and a Calmer Classroom

In a world where adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) cast long shadows over futures, our course stands as a beacon of hope for educators committed to making a difference. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention highlights the stark reality that witnessing violence or enduring abuse can severely limit life opportunities in adulthood, increasing the risk of well-being, psychological, emotional, and mental health issues, and physical such as chronic conditions like diabetes and cancer. This course offers a powerful antidote through the practice of active mindfulness aimed at reversing these daunting trends.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACE), such as seeing violence or being abused, can impact the person's “life opportunities” in adulthood and increase their likelihood of developing mental and physical conditions such as diabetes and cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
