Our Research

We are dedicated to participating in the contribution of research that advances our understanding of the impacts of mindfulness on the quality of life across communities. We partner with respected institutions implement both quantitative and qualitative assessments. We also evaluate our training methods to objectively determine our efficacy.

SCHOOLS

Be Mindful and CU Denver conducted a study on the impacts of a 10-week mindfulness intervention on 4th grade students in a Denver public school serving a low-income community.
​
Participants scored 600% higher on pro-social behavior, 250% higher on emotional regulation, and 550% higher on academic achievement than those who did not attend mindfulness training.
​
In addition, 100% of the students anonymously reported that they enjoyed the class, benefited from the practice, had a desire to continue and shared the belief that all other students should learn mindfulness.
​
The teacher reported an increase of 11-20 minutes of teaching time

At-Risk Communities

In partnership with Urban Peak Youth Homeless Center and Dr. Scott Harpin from the University of Colorado School of Nursing, we conducted a qualitative study on the impact a 4-week mindfulness intervention program has on homeless youth struggling with drug addiction and mental illness. The preliminary results of the study show promising effects, particularly with sleep and anger management.
