About Us
Mindful Edge Interactive
Mindful Edge™ Interactive is a treasured program of Mindfulness Everyday™, a registered Canadian charity, # 83693 3507 RR0001.
The intention of the Mindful Edge™ program is to provide stress management and life strategies for youth using consistent and ongoing mindfulness-based practices.
The Mindful Edge™ program aims to cultivate positive mental health and wellness benefits while teaching stress management, self-care, resilience, concentration, executive functioning, and positive habits of the mind. Mindful Edge™ is the outcome of over a decade worth of in-person programming delivered in high schools in Toronto, Ontario. Mindfulness Everyday has been delivering Mindfulness in Education since 2009.
We promote mindfulness practices to enhance positive mental and physical health and well-being, compassionate action and resilience by providing stress reduction training and life skills for young people, educators, professional support staff, parents, organizations and members of the community.
Our programs support learning and wellbeing, but they are not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Please seek professional support if you need it.
The Mission
To provide Mindfulness training in community, educational and organizational settings, to support well-being and compassionate action for ourselves, for others and our environment. Our focus is the implementation of youth programming so that our youth have the skills and tools to meet the challenges of life with wisdom and insight.
Inclusivity
The Mindful Edge™ program includes a genuine understanding of many differences including but not limited to: race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic status, age, body size and shape, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, physical or mental health and physical or cognitive abilities. We acknowledge and honour the fundamental value and dignity of all individuals and we are committed to the elimination of discrimination in all its forms.

Gratitude to Our Teachers
A big thank you to the teachers who paved the way for us in these practices.
Even though we teach a secular approach to mindfulness and yoga, we wish to appreciate the ancient wisdom tradition that informs our teaching and our practice and the teachers who have shared their wisdom.
Research and History of The Mindful Edge Program
In June 2011, the Mindful Edge™ program and The Sterling Institute collaborated in the completion of an action research project “Measuring the Effectiveness of The Mindful Edge Program”. The growing field of research that supports the value of mindfulness in education was of interest to both organizations. We worked together collecting data assessing the effectiveness of the program in an 8-week pilot after-school program for 20 students and 5 teachers. The pilot was deemed so effective that it became part of the grade 11 leadership program at R.H.King Academy in Scarborough, Ontario for over a decade, serving over 2,400 youth. The program was expanded to other Toronto schools and grades.
From 2011 to 2013, The Mindful Edge program facilitated an 8-week mindfulness training program for teens while collecting data in both the TDSB and YRDSB. A Canadian Vision assisted in the development and procurement of required measurement tools and completed all written reports. Together, the following research questions were investigated:
Does the Mindful Edge program improve students’ abilities to recognize and identify symptoms of stress? If so, are they adopting more effective strategies when trying to reduce the unhealthy effects of stress?
