Peer Groups & Events

Our Mindful Approach

At Mindful Me, we believe that bringing people together through group programs and events is a beautiful way to foster connection, belonging, and meaningful learning. Each gathering is designed to be welcoming, intentional, and joyful—a space where relationships grow, curiosity is encouraged, and everyone can thrive.

Peer Pals

Peer Pals is a nurturing and playful group where children develop essential social-emotional skills through movement, mindfulness, intentional teaching, and play. Designed to feel like a comforting part of your child’s day, each session follows a consistent rhythm that helps kids feel safe, engaged, and ready to connect with their peers.

Rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, guided by behavior analysis, and supported by early childhood best practices, this program is truly evidence-based. 

What makes Peer Pals unique is not just the use of these frameworks, but how they are thoughtfully integrated. Skills are taught explicitly, practiced joyfully, and reinforced through connection. Emotional growth is supported alongside behavioral learning, and children are encouraged to be curious, flexible, and compassionate with themselves and others.

Our goal is for every child to feel like they belong. Throughout each session, children explore important topics like recognizing feelings, forming friendships, flexible thinking, and working through conflict. Extra support in developing these skills can lead to greater happiness at school, increased self-confidence, and a solid foundation for building meaningful relationships throughout their life.

    This 60-minute, interactive, online gathering invites parents to slow down, reflect on what matters most in their family, and learn how to bring those values into everyday parenting moments. Together, we’ll explore how values can guide families during daily routines, strengthen connection, and support challenging moments.

    In this workshop, parents will:

    • Identify the values they want to guide their family life

    • Explore how values can support parenting decisions during everyday routines and challenging moments

    • Practice turning values into small, doable actions that feel realistic and sustainable

    • Develop shared family language that supports consistency, connection, and teamwork across parents and children

    Parents will be guided through reflection and simple exercises to help them leave with clarity and a plan for moving forward—without the pressure to be perfect.

    This workshop is grounded in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and supported by behavior-analytic tools that help turn values into meaningful action.

    Can’t attend live? No worries! An audio recording and parent workbook will be emailed to all participants after the workshop.

    This 60-minute, interactive, online gathering invites parents to learn how to prevent common challenges and respond with steadiness when difficult moments arise.

    • Recognize patterns and early signs that often lead to overwhelm or challenging behavior

    • Use proactive strategies to support regulation during routines, transitions, and emotionally charged moments

    • Pause and return to center when challenges do occur, allowing for calmer, more intentional responses
