Stress and trauma experienced in adolescence contribute to risk factors associated with higher levels of violence including anger, impulsivity, low grades, suspensions and dropping out of school.
Schools that incorporate our Quiet Time program into their curriculum equip young Ugandan girls with the resilience to attain further education, overcome gender inequities, start businesses and improve their communities.
The core element of the Quiet Time program is Transcendental Meditation® (TM), an evidence-based approach to reducing toxic stress and violence, as well as improving academic performance. TM is an easy to practice, secular and extensively researched form of meditation. Quiet Time introduces two restful 15-minute periods into the day.
Our model is adapted to fit the context of each school we work in. The Quiet Time programs are implemented directly in schools. Schools that are interested in more information are encouraged to contact us.
