Over the past two years, there’s been a growing awareness on mental health and mindfulness. As a result, visits to therapy sessions have increased, software companies have launched app-based programs aimed at ensuring positive mental health.
With such an increase in awareness, the availability of home-based mental health programs has made it easier than before to take the necessary steps to promote and maintain a healthy mental state.
The following handful of programs, some of which are free, are great ways to promote mindfulness on a daily basis. As a bonus, for every purchase from our Back to Education collection, a portion of proceeds will be donated to students or kids in need, and you’ll get to vote on where the money goes!
