Mental Health Matters—So Does Access

When communities are over-stressed and under-resourced, they cannot thrive. 

Science has shown that evidence-based mindfulness practices offset the effects of stress, improve emotional regulation and foster a sense of connection. CMP’s outreach efforts prioritize working with under-served communities in Fairfield County, CT.

We work with nonprofits - over 50 so far! -  including social services agencies and schools, teaching people skills to manage mental and emotional stress, prevent burnout, and build resilience. We also serve the community as a whole, with free and open programming throughout the week, both in-person and online.  Our online community programs provide access to homebound senior citizens, those who are immunocompromised and nervous to venture out, people suffering with long-term Covid side effects, those lacking transportation or childcare, and anyone who feels safer from the comfort of their home. 

“The meditation sessions have greatly lifted the burden of Covid. As an 83 year old woman I am largely living in place. I look forward to and greatly benefit from the wisdom, knowledge, and peace that I derive from the sessions. I am very grateful to Community Mindfulness Project and all the teachers.” 

Help us continue to serve our local community, especially those with fewer resources, with mindfulness practices that support mental and emotional wellbeing. 

“These sessions have made a huge difference in my life and have finally gotten me to participate in meditation on a regular basis. Not only is it the meditation but the sense of community and not being alone.” 

Your generous donations allow us to serve local non-profit organizations like Stamford-based Laurel House, treating those with mental health struggles and addiction, or Shakers Anonymous, providing support and mental health wellness programming to those with Parkinson’s Disease, or Stamford school nurses, who’ve seen first hand the mental health struggles due to the pandemic. Through our outreach, we serve those who are serving others, creating a culture of wellness. 

In short, CMP empowers people to lead healthier lives by expanding access to mindful meditation.

CMP relies on donor support to keep its sessions open and accessible to everyone.  We hope that you will consider making a donation.  Our board has offered to match the first $10,000 in donations! 

Please consider supporting CMP as we help communities build skills to thrive.  

With gratitude,

Your CMP Family
