Balsz Elementary School is the first to become a Mindfulness First school district in Arizona
December 19, 2020|
The
Balsz Elementary School District in east Phoenix will become the first in the state to officially embrace an important curriculum for student mental health.
The district’s Governing Board voted recently to become the first
Mindfulness First school district, implementing a program by Mindfulness First in each of its schools designed to promote mental health and social and emotional well-being as part of the educational curriculum.
The program is particularly timely considering the COVID-19 pandemic and the additional stresses being placed upon students at this time. It is designed to help curb the potential for mental health issues as children grow and development, and prevent such problems as depression and teen suicide.
