People like B*. She suffered a traumatic brain injury after being shot. Upon reflection following our Intro to Mindfulness 8-week program, she shared:

"these practices are the only things that slow my traumatized brain down so I can catch up to it."

Fairfield County, CT, now has the second-highest income inequality among all metropolitan areas in the country (CTData Haven, 2023). We know that increased income inequality has been associated with higher rates of crime, greater consumer debt, and poorer health outcomes (PNAS, 2016). 

In 2024, with a nimble team, we're on track to offer over 500 sessions, reaching over 4,000 people. In 2025, we will continue to grow and prioritize and deepen our programming in Bridgeport, Norwalk and Stamford to support and train community members with the highest unmet health needs.
