Center for Wellness and Achievement (CWAE)

In addition to its stress management program in schools, CWAE offers meditation-based wellness and development programs for adults working in the following: non-profits serving schools, health-related non-profits such as hospitals and community health services, colleges, veterans organizations, and for-profit corporations. These programs have resulted in significant reductions in stress, improved psychological wellness, and increased focus and productivity. CWAE also provides support for meditation training and retreat programs for community members in San Francisco, Marin and the Greater Bay Area.

CWAE provides meditation-based stress-management and cognitive-development programs to schools and community members in low income, inner-city neighborhoods since 2007. Effects of the program include reductions in violence and suspensions, increases in attendance, school-wide GPA, and measures of psychological wellbeing, including self-esteem and reduced anxiety. For teachers and administrators, benefits include significant improvements in emotional intelligence, perceived stress and psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and anger.
