Having a network of educators committed to the health and well-being of staff and students through mindfulness has been extremely impactful in our schools. It has allowed us to explore ways to support the adults with the stressors of the profession and in teaching students the social and emotional skills they need to be successful in life.

The mindful community approach and the coop's member-teachers have had a significant impact on local access to the benefits of mindfulness. Seonaigh began this initiative with the Chilliwack Healthier Communities network, and some of those original participants, representatives of key social service and health organizations, are now mindfulness teachers themselves and members of the coop.
