ONEHOPE has proudly donated $25,000 to MindUP to provide 10,000 children with the resources, education, and support needed to thrive in both school and life. Sharing what we are grateful for is one of our MindUP lessons so I would like to share my gratitude for all of you who have supported us along the way in helping our youth grow to be happy, healthy, productive adults.This month, we’re partnering with MindUP for Life: The Goldie Hawn Foundation, to raise funds and awareness for children’s mental health. To see our children use these tools in their lives brings tears of joy to my eyes. Life can have many chapters and I can say this may be the greatest of my life. I am happy to say that 7 million children have been taught MindUP in schools around the world and growing. Combining the brilliance of neuroscientists, teachers, positive psychologists and experts in mindfulness, my dream for kids came true, with the creation of our program MindUP.

I had a call to action to create a program that would help kids learn how to self regulate their emotions, become more resilient and learn about how their brain works to give them a road map out of despair and into a more positive mindset.
It was unimaginable that our little ones were suffering mental disturbances and being robbed of their joyful childhoods. My heart went to our youth, who were already showing signs of silent distress with symptoms of anxiety, depression, aggression and even child suicide. After 9/11, like you, I was shaken to my core, as it seemed the world had changed in an instant. They deserve all we can give them to thrive and succeed in this sometimes challenging world. All children in the world are our most precious resource for a happier, healthier tomorrow.
