ABOUT US
“Keep your heart open and your MindUP™ for children!” –
Founder, Goldie Hawn
Children today are showing signs of distress. School dropout
rates are rising. Distractions abound for children, their teachers, and
parents.
A child’s ability to learn is directly linked to their
overall state of well-being and mental health, of primary concern to The Hawn
Foundation and Founder, Goldie Hawn who was the visionary behind MindUP™.
Assembling a team of educators, neuroscientists, positive
psychologists and experts in mindful awareness training, the academy award
winning actress, producer, author, child advocate and philanthropist created
the evidence-based MindUP™ as a social and emotional literacy curriculum and
training program. For 10 years, it has grown as the signature initiative of The
Hawn Foundation and currently serves children and schools across five
continents.
Accredited by CASEL,
MindUP™ equips children, educators and parents with vital social and emotional
literacy skills, helping them increase focus, improve academic performance,
reduce stress, gain emotional resilience and optimism. Rooted in neuroscience,
the program teaches self-regulatory behavioral control while offering
engagement strategies for learning and living.
The Hawn Foundation enlists educators, scientists, researchers,
clinicians, volunteers, parents and children’s advocates as well as the most
dynamic mindful awareness practitioners in the world to join us in our efforts
to expand MindUP™ globally for children. You’re invited to join us and make a
difference today in the lives of children, impacting their opportunities for
lifelong success!
The only thing that will
make you happy is being
happy with who you are,
and not who people think
you are.
- Goldie Hawn
