The Mind Matters Curriculum
Mind Matters is Jana Marie Foundation’s signature mental wellness curriculum designed to help young people build emotional awareness, resilience, and healthy coping skills. Through engaging, age-appropriate lessons, Mind Matters creates safe, supportive spaces where students can explore their emotions, strengthen connections, and develop tools to navigate everyday challenges.
Grounded in evidence-based practices and Jana Marie Foundation’s belief in the power of creative expression and open dialogue, the curriculum centers on mindfulness, hardiness, and a positive mindset, empowering students to better understand themselves, face challenges with confidence, and build lifelong mental wellness skills.
This course was developed by Marisa Vicere, president/founder of Jana Marie Foundation, with the support of Dr. Leo Flannigan from the Center of Resilience, and Dr. Peter Montminy from A Mindful Village.
