Center for Healthy Minds

Over the course of 12 weeks, twice a week, prekindergarten students learned their ABCs - attention, breath and body and caring practice

Research suggests breath counting may be one route to improving attention and well-being

The Center received a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, in partnership with the Madison Metropolitan School District, to study well-being and mindfulness-based skills in the classroom

Scientists at the Center are exploring how stressors like poverty, neglect and physical abuse experienced in early life may alter critical areas of the brain later in life

Research suggests people who experience chronic marital stress are less able to savor positive experiences – a hallmark of depression
