LIFEBOATS FOR YOUNG MINDS

Welcome to our organization, founded in 2017, where we empower educators to cultivate nurturing learning environments for all students. Recent research highlights that over two-thirds of children face traumatic events by age 16, impacting their health and education. By strengthening connections with families and teaching vital coping skills, we guide students through life's challenges promoting resilience and healthy lifestyles. Join us in being a lifeboat for every child—because sinking is not an option, and all students deserve the opportunity to thrive.

our mission

 

At Lifeboats, our mission is to foster connections among families, educators, and communities focusing on mindfulness and mental health. We are dedicated to raising awareness about childhood adversities and their long-lasting effects, empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to heal and grow. We believe that trauma does not define us; rather, it is the journey of healing that shapes our resilience. Together, we strive to create a supportive environment for all.
