Who We Serve

The Center for Mindful AwarenessSM is dedicated to reaching out to underserved communities. We focus our services on families and individuals challenged by homelessness, poverty, abuse, addictions, trauma and complex medical conditions.

We are also dedicated to the direct service providers who work with these communities. Each and every day, teachers, social workers, non-profit administrators, and a myriad of other dedicated professionals put their hearts and souls into helping others. These service providers are at risk for burnout and secondary trauma themselves.

“This program has taken me places I never thought I’d go. My personal communication is better with my partner. Our attitudes are different, so our conversations are different. Even my son noticed a difference. He says I don’t holler anymore.”
