Today more than ever, children need the tools to manage stress and build resiliency. In order to continue living our mission of providing those tools for children, we have designed a training model that allows us to bring MindUP to schools virtually. We are currently offering a series of virtual MindUP trainings for schools, parents and caregivers, and school districts.
