Our Programs
PLC/PD Release
Our Mindful Explorer coaches take over while your teachers engage in PLC/PD time, eliminating the need for substitute teachers and lesson plans. This allows you to monitor the amount of PLC time you can offer your teachers.
Recess time
Using our MBSEL activities, our Mindful Explorer coaches, ensure your students get the most out of their playtime, allowing principals and school staff to focus on the other essential tasks of running a school.
Summer School
Our engaging programming can boost attendance at your summer school programs while keeping kids learning and active. Students love the novel experience of spending time with our college coaches, while engaging in activities and games structured using MBSEL and having fun.
After-
school
Our Mindful Explorers lead fun and creative MBSEL activities that allow your student to get the most out of their after school time
TRAIN THE TEACHER
In lieu of our Mindful Explorers coaches, we also offer our “train the trainer,” where we license our Mindful Adventure content and train your staff to facilitate our trauma-informed MBSEL curriculum.

Although teachers are not therapists, students who are undergoing trauma or survivors often hold them in high regard and consider them in a sympathetic position to provide support. Understanding trauma-informed care can help educators make sense of this behavior and learn how the classroom or school environment may be helping or hindering certain students’ ability to learn.
