WHAT IS THE SMILING MIND SCHOOL PROGRAM?
An evidence based, whole school approach to support student mental health and wellbeing.
Thanks to the generous investment of $2.4m from the NSW Department of Education and the Buildcorp Foundation, Smiling Mind has introduced our comprehensive whole-school mindfulness program to roughly 450 NSW public schools, and continues to support teachers as they bring the program to their students.

100% EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAM
Everything we do at Smiling Mind is backed by evidence, which is why we created the evidence based guidelines for mindfulness in schools.
The guidelines aims to provide school leaders, teachers and other stakeholders who wish to implement mindfulness programs into their school with a clear and concise review of the evidence and existing best practice within education.
