Abstract

This project is designed to systematically adapt and implement a community- and mindfulness-based program, Cultivating Healthy Intentional Mindful Educators + Families (CHIME+), with families with young children. Additionally the project will evaluate the delivery of CHIME in Spanish to teachers. 

Researchers aim to equip parents and teachers with mindfulness skills that are feasible to implement and acceptable to them to promote their own emotional well-being — for example, reducing parenting stress — with anticipated positive spillover effects into their caregiving behaviors.
