Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Youth Development Programs
Mission: Mission Be is not-for profit that scaled nationally, implementing mindfulness-based social emotional learning programs in schools and communities. Mission Be offers mindfulness based educational programs to train students to better manage stress and regulate emotions. Mindfulness can be described as the practice of paying attention in the present moment, and doing it intentionally and with non-judgment. Mindfulness has emerged as a powerful intervention skill for self-regulation noted in 2000+ studies (growing exponentially each year) showing its benefits. Expected immediate outcomes based on this research for our Mindfulness Programs include: 1) Reduced stress and improved physical well-being. 2) Improved ability to manage stress and stress-based short-term and long-term negative health outcomes. 3) Increased Focus: as seen in improved ability to pay attention and concentrate. 4) Improved Emotion Regulation: as seen in reduced impulsiveness rowdiness, suspensions and expulsions. 5) Increased Emotional Intelligence such as improved conflict resolution skills, 6) Increased empathy and respect: as seen in increased empathy and understanding of others. 7) Increased resilience and self-confidence: such as increased capacity to overcome challenges. We believe that equipping children with key mindfulness-based social emotional skills will not only help them perform better academically and in their careers, but will also help them become more compassionate, empathetic, caring members of society. Children growing up with skills to regulate their emotions, to better understand their own needs, to recognize other’s needs, to value nature and to problem solve compassionately will help usher in a more peaceful, healthy, happy and thriving future.
