Heart-Mind well-being refers to creating a balance between educating the mind and educating the heart. While there is a great focus in our society on academic achievement, research has demonstrated the positive impacts of social and emotional learning and that heart and mind learning are interconnected. Join Kareen Hudson from the Dalai Lama Center to learn more about the 5 qualities of Heart-Mind well-being research to support you in fostering heart-mind well-being in the children and youth you work with in your programs.
