Inner Explorer mindful awareness programs consist of a series of audio-guided recordings used each day. This simple approach allows schools to easily implement these practices in all classrooms to reduce the effects of chronic stress. Students become more resilient, have less anxiety and develop the skills of self-awareness, attention and self-control. These skills are critical to success in school and in life.
✅ Evidence Based: Research has demonstrated these practices improve school performance, including higher grade point average (GPA) and higher grades in reading, math, and science, as well as reduce behavioral problems.
✅ Easy to Implement: Teachers press 'play' each day and listen along with students to the 5-10 minute audio-guided recording from a series of 180 practices to match the typical school year, available in English or Spanish.
✅ Curriculum Neutral: The program can be used during normal transition times (beginning of school day, after recess, before lunch or between 2 subjects).
✅ Resource Neutral: The program does not require room changes, scheduling changes, extra teachers or extra training.
✅ Universal: All students in every classroom can participate simultaneously, making it one of the most effective mental health and wellbeing programs in education.
Safe Haven School Offers a Unique Approach to Special Education.
Safe Haven School offers a new and highly anticipated alternative for families and
placement professionals who are seeking the best possible environment for
children in with emotional disabilities, learning disabilities, and attentional
difficulties. We serve children from Kindergarten through grade 12.
These children may have a diagnosis of depression, bipolar disorder, severe
anxiety disorders including social phobia, separation anxiety, selective mutism,
post-traumatic stress and obsessive-compulsive disorders, ADHD, LD, NVLD,
and multiple diagnoses.
Students who are appropriate for Safe Haven School may be average or above intellectually, but are emotionally fragile. Instead of being placed alongside children with externalizing behaviors, they need to be in a safe, secure environment, away from the additional stressors of ridicule or intimidation. These students make easy targets and need to be protected from verbal or physical aggression that may cause additional stress or refer them to the root of their post-traumatic disorder. These are children who need to be drawn out of
depression or paralyzing anxiety to learn coping skills at a young age, so when they
reach adolescence they do not turn to drugs, alcohol, promiscuity, self-injury or suicide.
