More than ever before, young people are facing mental health challenges, but they frequently lack access to the very resources that would help them. PoM’s comprehensive curriculum equips them with the tools they need to manage stress, self-regulate, and build healthy relationships. Every year, more than 6,000 students participate in weekly lessons in schools across the city. Students practice mindfulness, establishing a foundation of care for themselves and others. As they grow in confidence, PoM introduces the neuroscience behind strong emotions and guides them through the process of de-escalating conflicts. By 8th grade, students know how to apply these skills to address community issues and injustices. Using digital programming to reach more kids “where they are” PoM is raising a healthier generation of young people and the next generation of peacemakers.
