Lift up families and young ones with mindfulness support.
We focus on the unique needs of early childhood educators, therapists, support staff, and families to provide mindfulness training and techniques—whether they are learning for themselves, or preparing to teach mindfulness to the people they support.
Build Connections
Cultivate Resilience
Enhance Emotional Regulation
We recognize that every workplace and organization is unique. We can design a customized experience, built upon our proprietary evidence-based curriculum, to suite your organizational needs.
Modules for Families & Communities
PreK-Educators
Created and taught by early childhood professionals, this course helps educators, family support staff, and administrators develop resiliency skills to incorporate mindfulness and meditation into their daily lives.
From a one-hour presentation for students or staff to a multi-week training for educators and administrators on managing burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma, we tailor our content and delivery to meet your unique needs, requirements, and goals.
This evidence-based program prepares professionals working with families—especially those with young children—to teach mindfulness techniques that enhance emotional recognition, foster healthier communication, and reduce stress for both caregivers and children.
This course helps families—caregivers and their children—develop essential skills for fostering healthy, peaceful relationships by guiding caregivers to model emotional regulation and mindfulness as children learn to understand and manage their own emotions.
Awaken Pittsburgh has teamed up with Homewood Children’s Village and the University of Pittsburgh's Center on Race and Social Problems to provide mindfulness training for nonprofit professionals, parents, and educators in Homewood.
This course offers experienced practitioners a space to uncover and explore unconscious biases, understand how and why bias exists in all of us, and develop skills to minimize the harm it can cause.
