LIFEBOATS FOR YOUNG MINDS
Welcome to our organization, established in 2017, dedicated to empowering educators to create nurturing learning environments for all students, especially those impacted by trauma. With one in four children facing such challenges, we believe in equipping them with the tools they need to thrive academically and emotionally. By fostering strong connections with families and teaching essential coping skills, we help students navigate life's adversities and embrace a healthy lifestyle. Join us in being a lifeboat for every child—because sinking is not an option, and every student deserves the opportunity to become the best version of themselves.
our mission
At lifeboats, our mission is to foster connections among families, educators, and communities, focusing on mindfulness and mental health. We aim to raise awareness about childhood adversities and their long-lasting effects, empowering individuals with the knowledge they need. Remember, trauma does not define you; it's about the healing and growth that occurs within you after facing such challenges. Together, we can create a supportive environment for all.
