MMA's new program for students with mild anxiety and upcoming events you can't miss.
New MMA program tackles mild anxiety in students
We're excited about our new program that combines brain science with mindfulness strategies in the classroom.
Mindful Me is a specialised workshop developed and written by Katie Rose, a Level 3 Classroom Teacher and MMA Lead Facilitator.
Our training equips two champions from your school with the tools and skills to deliver this six-week program to selected students.
Key outcomes include:
- tools and strategies so you can help students with mild anxiety at school
- a theoretical understanding of brain science basics, focusing on the amygdala, pre-frontal cortex and hippocampus
- ideas on hands-on activities to foster the development of self-regulation in students
- access to exclusive Mindful Me resources for participants.
"The skill of being present in the moment - and being able to calm yourself - is one of those skills that is in your toolkit for life....it’s been an incredible partnership [with MMA] and the parents’ feedback has been amazing."
- Jodi Piercey, Deputy Principal Lake Gwelup Primary School
After running a successful pilot program at Lake Gwelup Primary School in 2021, we're now running workshops for educators and wellbeing leaders wishing to incorporate mindfulness into their schools and reap the same enormous benefits.
Our second Mindful Me workshop will be running in June, following a successful first workshop in early May. Chat to us if you're keen to learn more or register for the next workshop below!
Coming up // Mindful Recharge - 15 June 2022
This workshop is offered to support schools currently running a Mindful Education program (facilitated by MMA). This new, half-day program offers new staff the opportunity to understand, and apply, the principles and resources to ultimately implement a whole-school mindfulness program.
