The Holistic Life Foundation (HLF), a nonprofit based in Baltimore, MD, expanded to two satellite locations: the Saint Regis Mohawk Reservation in Akwesasne, NY, and Miami, FL. The efforts to branch out and bring the benefits of wellness to underserved communities started this summer in Akwesasne. Senior HLF staff will spend a year in the community facilitating yoga and mindfulness classes in schools. They’ll also be training 15 community leaders to help grow their programming in the community. The Art of Coping, a program created by the nonprofit TRUE Skool, offers kids and teens in Milwaukee, WI, new ways to relax and express their emotions. Now through classes held online, kids are given tools to deal with everyday stress—and added stress caused by the pandemic—through daily practices, meditation, affirmations, creative writing, and art. Each week the live classes explore a new tool to give kids the opportunity to identify which practices they can incorporate into their life.
