Insight Timer is the world's largest free meditation app for anxiety, stress and sleep. MindUP will join Insight Timer’s free library among neuroscience mindfulness exercises from Judson Brewer M.D. Thanks to Insight Timer, we are able to deliver some of our education practices to parents who are helping to homeschool and teachers who are learning to teach virtually.” Our program MindUP helps address these issues by creating mental fitness and emotional stability. “During this time of uncertainty, children are affected negatively emotionally and are facing symptoms of stress and anxiety. “It is a great honor to be associated with Insight Timer, a global company that has the capacity to create uplift, calm and various approaches to emotional wellbeing,” said Goldie Hawn, founder of MindUP. MindUP created content for Insight Timer to fill that gap by making components of its well-researched, multi-year training program accessible to anyone who finds themself a teacher this year. As schools worldwide struggle to reopen fully, millions of children will learn in makeshift classrooms at home among potential distractions or unfit environments. The World Health Organization reported in September 2020 that depression is one of the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents, and earlier this year reported along with the United Nations that more children are struggling concentration and nervousness amid lifestyle changes during the COVID-19 pandemic. “This partnership with MindUP aligns with our values for Insight Timer to always be a more conscious use of screen time.” “We are proud to add MindUP’s learning resources to our free library to support parents and educators as they face new challenges teaching children with technology,” said Christopher Plowman, CEO, Insight Timer. As parents look for ways to support, and in some cases help proctor, students during an untraditional school year, MindUP’s exercises on Insight Timer teach children focus, empathy and relationship-building - which a screen often disrupts. On November 13 at 1pm EST, Hawn will host a live talk on Insight Timer to explain the science behind the mental fitness program, MindUP, which is accredited by the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning (CASEL). The audio exercises are available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese with more languages to come this year.

The free five-minute exercises made for Insight Timer teach children daily gratitude, “brain breaks” and kindness that are proven to improve focus, resiliency, optimism and empathy.
