The Brookfield Education Foundation funded a grant to pilot a new program, Unwind the Mind meditation classes, in a new Wellness Room at WMS. Both the classes and the newly designed Wellness Room have been planned to align with the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Mindfulness Module, aiming to help WMS students gain new tools to help manage stress and regulate their emotions.

Each of the initial six-week Unwind the Mind sessions is poised to include a small group of students, with the goal of expanding program offerings to additional students.

The programming made possible by this grant aims to support WMS students in developing a foundation of mindfulness skills they can carry with them throughout their time in the Brookfield Public Schools and beyond.
