We have the agency and the ability to influence our own internal state and environment. What if our students knew this and had the tools to create balance and resilience on the inside? When we are regulated and present we have a deeper ability to thoughtfully respond to the world around us and take into consideration how we impact each other and the spaces we share.  When we consistently apply awareness skills we develop beneficial neurocircuitry and cohesion between systems in our body which has a direct influence on how we are feeling and what we are choosing to do.

Act 264's 2025 System of Care Report states their number one recommendation is to support children and families by continuing to focus and educate on building social emotional skills and competencies. Building self-awareness supports and empowers people to be more regulated and make informed decisions which in turn supports their ability to thrive as individuals, within relationships, and the larger communities we are a part of. 

 

The Mindful Heart Projects shares tools to support personal and community development within the fields of social emotional learning, mindful awareness and conscious movement (yoga).​​​​​​
