The mission of CWAE is to promote human development and reduce societal problems by strengthening the underlying neurophysiology of learning and behavior.
CWAE's largest program is a meditation-based stress-management and cognitive-development program delivered to over 15,0000 students, teachers and staff in low income, inner-city schools since 2007. Effects of the program for students include large reductions in violence and suspensions, significant increases in attendance, school-wide GPA, and measures of psychological wellbeing, including self-esteem and reduced anxiety. For teachers and administrators, benefits include significant improvements in emotional intelligence, perceived stress and psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and anger.
In addition to its Quiet Time program in schools, CWAE offers its meditation-based wellness and development program for adults working in the following: non-profits serving schools, health-related non-profits such as hospitals and community health services, colleges, veterans organizations, and for-profit corporations. These programs have resulted in significant reductions in stress, improved psychological wellness, and increased focus and productivity. CWAE also provides support for meditation training and retreat programs for community members in San Francisco, Marin and the Greater Bay Area.
Research and program evaluation are fundamental elements of CWAE programs. CWAE works with schools, school districts, and health organizations to collect data for program evaluation and regularly publishes related studies in peer reviewed scientific journals.
