The video above describes the program that will be piloted at Redwood High School this year. Resources follow are the end of the video.
10 staff members were trained to meditate in June, staff practiced over the summer and then culminated with a 1-day meditation retreat on Monday, August 11th. More staff will be trained in phase two this fall, while those that have been trained will continue to support one another to practice meditation.
The program will be piloted with two groups of students: REAL and TAPP. REAL stands for the Redwood Environmental Academy of Leadership. TAPP stands for Teen Age Parent Program. Both groups of students are more or less a cohort and have several classes together.
One of our students was killed in gun violence in the early part of this summer. It is the expectation for this program to give students a tool to over come this and other kinds of stress they carry with them.
