Too many young people face toxic levels of stress and trauma in their lives — and attend schools that are breeding grounds of tension and violence. The result? An epidemic of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, sleep deprivation, and declining academic performance.
AN EPIDEMIC OF TOXIC STRESS
“Stress creates problems in students. Remove the stress, and you have peace... Quiet Time is the key to changing the lives of not only our students but the community.”
– Dr. George Rutherford,
Principal, Ideal Academy, Washington, D.C.
The Quiet Time approach is simple and evidence-based: 15 minutes, twice a day, can transform a child’s life now—and in the future.
The David Lynch Foundation's Quiet Time program has demonstrated that children and teens who practice the stress-reducing Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique are healthier, happier, more focused, and enjoy higher academic performance than non-meditating students. TM serves as a lifelong tool for success.
Schools need and deserve Quiet Time. Will you help provide access to this invaluable tool for achieving focus, confidence, and improved academic performance?
QUIET TIME SCHOOLS DEMONSTRATE
“I was bullied at my school. I would have trouble sleeping and I couldn’t focus on my classes. After learning TM, I instantly felt whole and happier... I’ve had straight A’s all year.”
– Kezia,
participant in the Quiet Time program
Quiet Time improves a student’s academic performance and quality of life. But more than that, better educated young people means social and economic benefits for the whole community, including less crime, a healthier workforce, and more successful leaders.
