Meditation and Mindfulness
We will be focusing on community-based needs for vulnerable populations - seniors, new immigrants, disabled (mental and physical), anxious students, victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, mental illness, families undergoing conflicts and separation, and other groups who are found to be in need of services. These projects are responsive to evidenced needs (from demographic studies) and supported by grants. Our current focus is on Meditation and Mindfulness for Stress Relief program.
Meditation and Mindfulness for Stress Relief (MMSR)
DhIA Foundation offers customized meditation and mindfulness programs for stress relief drawing from multiple secular meditation and mindfulness practices from South and East Asia. Additionally, participants are supported with learning resources and practice-at-home meditation apps.
Mindfulness in Action for Students & Professionals
Cognitive and behavioral sciences suggest that our thoughts, emotions, and actions are interconnected forces that dictate how we engage with the world around us. Creating a multi-prong approach to change our thinking patterns, and behavioral and emotional responses to external stressors would be invaluable in healing current divisiveness, defensiveness, and violent aggressions in the community. DhIA's Mindfulness in Action program includes educational components, behavior modification guidance, and meditation and mindfulness training led by professionals and subject matter experts.

MMSR for Law Enforcement Officers
Customized meditative techniques to help law enforcement officers combat traumatic stressors that are exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has created social upheaval and altered norms for all members of society, but its effects on first responders and law enforcement officers have been particularly profound. In addition to professional mental health services and strong peer and community support, meditation and mindfulness have been shown to reduce stress levels and improve physical and mental health outcomes for law enforcement officers with longer-term sustained results.
MMSR for Healthcare Workers
Customized meditation and mindfulness practices to address professional burnout, stress-related disorders, compassion fatigue, conflicts at home, voluntary separation from vulnerable family members, and insomnia among other symptoms that plague healthcare workers who while trained to provide help, may not prioritize asking much less receiving help for their own wellness. Healthcare workers desperately need all-around support to care for their mental health as they continue to work in stressful situations - meditation and mindfulness practices have been evidenced to offer tremendous stress relief.
