A Mindful Journey in Imperial Valley

The campaign A Mindful Journey in the Imperial Valley encompasses a comprehensive approach to promoting mindfulness, reducing stress, and expanding self-awareness to address the mental health disparities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through research and engagement, the objective is to create a book and event to equip people with tools and practices in mindfulness that will help improve mental health in the California Healthy Places Index communities of Imperial Valley. Robust outreach will center on promotion and community involvement in a Taste of Mindfulness event featuring well-being practitioners and workshops, collaborative mural-making with artist Sergio Ojeda, and book distribution in English and Spanish, partnering with local businesses, libraries, community centers, and schools.
