TEACHING SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL RESILIENCY
THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF MINDFULNESS.
Shanthi Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing evidence-based mindfulness education to more than 5,000 children and adults annually across the Greater Lehigh Valley. Committed for over fifteen years to education and advocacy, we teach vital social and emotional skills that help our community members cope with challenges, cultivate genuine mental health, and build resiliency.
Our programming reaches schools, the Northampton County Juvenile Justice Center, local professionals, and community-based organizations. Through our work, we build on decades of peer-reviewed research that show how mindfulness can improve focus and self-regulation, reduce stress and anxiety, and build capacity for kindness and empathy.
"I absolutely love this program. It's great for kindergarten and perfect for young learners to understand how the brain works and what's happening when big feelings come up. Miss Sarah teaches them multiple strategies to use, such as different breathing activities. I always recommend it to others when speaking about social/emotional learning. Every year, I learn something new from her!"
