Case Study: Lynn’s Story
Meet Lynn
Director of Adult Education, Frmr Dir. of Family & Community Engagement
Bridgeport Public Schools
Children learn from the adults around them, so when we give adults tools to handle anxiety, stress and difficult emotions, they pass those tools along to the children in their lives.
Alex is an example of the amazing adults who show their students what it means to stay calm and focused, even when things are tough. Over the years HCC has partnered with us at Community Mindfulness Project to help bring mindfulness into schools.
Our work in schools targets the whole learning experience.
Imagine if all the adults at school—from teachers to nurses to security guards—learned how to take care of themselves first. They’d be better at helping students with emotional control, reducing anxiety, and creating a safe, caring environment. This would lead to better focus, higher test scores, less stress, and so much more.
For parents and caretakers, as you spend time with the young people in your life, remember to celebrate the teachers who help them every day.
CMP entered Jacqueline’s life during a tough transition—and helped her reclaim calm, confidence, and community. Today, she shares that gift with others in both English and Spanish.
