| Description | MINDFUL AWARENESS PROGRAM (MAP) WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND, OUR CURRENT SYSTEM OF EDUCATION HAS NARROWED ITS FOCUS TO THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF EXTERNAL FACTS AND OBJECTIVE INFORMATION. THE UNFORTUNATE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS TYPE OF EMPHASIS ON LEARNING IS RENDERING OUR STUDENTS LESS ABLE TO COPE WITH THE PRESSURES AND DEMANDS THEY FACE IN ADDRESSING THE WORLDWIDE PROBLEMS OF THE 21ST CENTURY. CURRENT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT MINDFUL AWARENESS PROGRAMS, WHEN EFFECTIVELY INTEGRATED WITHIN THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, PROMOTE POSITIVE QUALITIES THAT EMPOWER STUDENTS TO BECOME MORE ATTENTIVE AND CARING WORLD CITIZENS. FLOURISH FOUNDATION OFFERS SCHOOL-BASED PROGRAMS THAT INTRODUCE DIFFERENT FORMS OF MINDFUL AWARENESS TRAINING TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS IN A CLASSROOM SETTING. THE GOAL OF THE MINDFUL AWARENESS PROGRAM (MAP) IS CENTERED ON BROADENING THE SCOPE OF EDUCATION TO INCLUDE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SKILLS, ATTENTIONAL TRAINING, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF OTHER VIRTUES THAT SUPPORT PERSONAL, SOCIAL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING. THE MAP PROGRAM USES SECULAR, AGE APPROPRIATE EXERCISES AND GAMES TO CULTIVATE ATTENTION, AWARENESS, ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY, AND TO DEVELOP THE POSITIVE EMOTIONS OF KINDNESS AND COMPASSION. IN 2011 WE TAUGHT EIGHT CLASSES IN LOCAL GRADE SCHOOLS TO APPROXIMATELY 135 FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS. | Description |

| Description | TWO OTHER PROGRAMS EXIST: THE BIRTH PROGRAM AND THE TEACHER SELF-CARE PROGRAM. MINDFUL CHILDBIRTH & PARENTING CLASSES THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF MINDFULNESS, EXPECTANT PARENTS WILL DEVELOP TOOLS FOR MANAGING EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL STRESS DURING PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH, PARENTING, AND DAILY LIFE. PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN HOW TO ENGAGE THE MIND TO DEAL WITH PAIN AND FEAR ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDBIRTH AND HOW TO ACCESS DEEP PHYSICAL AND MENTAL RELAXATION TO GREATLY ASSIST THE NATURAL PROCESS OF CHILDBIRTH AND EASE THE WAY INTO PARENTHOOD. BY PRACTICING MINDFUL AWARENESS, EXPECTING PARENTS ARE ABLE TO ADJUST THROUGH THIS TRANSITION WITH GREATER CONFIDENCE, WISDOM AND JOY. TEACHER SELF-CARE PROGRAM AS EDUCATORS, SCHOOL TEACHERS REPRESENT A CORNERSTONE OF OUR SOCIETY. ACCORDING TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, OF ALL THE WORK THAT OCCURS AT EVERY LEVEL OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM, THE INTERACTION BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT IS THE PRIMARY DETERMINANT OF STUDENT SUCCESS. THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS IS ASTONISHING, YET MOST TEACHERS ARE NOT GIVEN THE TOOLS TO ADDRESS THE HIGH LEVELS OF STRESS AND BURNOUT, WHICH ARE SO EVIDENT IN THE PROFESSION. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT INTRODUCING CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES INTO THE LIVES OF TEACHERS REDUCES THEIR PERCEIVED STRESS, ANXIETY AND BURNOUT, WHILE LEADING TO INCREASED EMPATHY AND COMPASSION. IDEALLY, SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN THIS WAY CREATES STUDENT- TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS AND CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENTS THAT FOSTER THE DEVELOPING MINDS/BRAINS OF CHILDREN SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF SELF-CONTROL, STRESS REDUCTION, AND POSITIVE FEELINGS TOWARD THEM AND THE WORLD. THE FLOURISH FOUNDATION OFFERS AN ELEVEN WEEK TEACHER SELF-CARE PROGRAM THAT SUPPORTS TEACHERS IN DEVELOPING THEIR OWN INNER RESOURCES THROUGH CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES, REFLECTION AND DIALOGUE. | Description |

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT INTRODUCING CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES INTO THE LIVES OF TEACHERS REDUCES THEIR PERCEIVED STRESS, ANXIETY AND BURNOUT, WHILE LEADING TO INCREASED EMPATHY AND COMPASSION. IDEALLY, SUPPORTING TEACHERS IN THIS WAY CREATES STUDENT- TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS AND CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENTS THAT FOSTER THE DEVELOPING MINDS/BRAINS OF CHILDREN SPECIFICALLY IN TERMS OF SELF-CONTROL, STRESS REDUCTION, AND POSITIVE FEELINGS TOWARD THEM AND THE WORLD. THE FLOURISH FOUNDATION OFFERS AN ELEVEN WEEK TEACHER SELF-CARE PROGRAM THAT SUPPORTS TEACHERS IN DEVELOPING THEIR OWN INNER RESOURCES THROUGH CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICES, REFLECTION AND DIALOGUE. |
