HELP is a 20-session certificate course for students on life skills and holistic well-being through Heartfulness practices for self-development and inner excellence. While the current education system is giving enough focus towards the academic excellence of students, it is equally essential to address the socio-emotional well-being and physical and mental health of students for holistic development and to become well-rounded and balanced individuals. Such inner development has to be nurtured in a gentle way with the right tools and techniques that allow students to absorb and imbibe essential life skills through experience and direct perception. The HELP program provides the right combination of skills, tools, and practices that are seamlessly integrated into its course content, allowing students to open up their minds and hearts towards a positive and balanced approach to life.

Heartfulness education programs for schools consist of a suite of educational offerings including training for teachers and a comprehensive curriculum for students. Our programs are designed to equip school leaders, teachers, and students with simple Heartfulness practices for mental wellness and holistic development, Social and Emotional Learning, Life-Skills, and Values-based curriculum. Our vision is to enable teachers and students to live a balanced, purposeful, happy life through heart-based practices so that they are equipped to contribute to sustainable school reform and community citizenship

From Teachers’ perspective, while they are devoted to making a positive change in students’ lives, they are often not well prepared for the social and emotional demands of today’s classroom environment and student learning needs. From Students’ perspective, while students develop well and become subject-matter experts, most of them need to be guided on basic life skills and core human values. Our primary objective is to train the teachers and enable them to deliver our curriculum to their students. This way, a more holistic transformation is felt and experienced amongst both teachers and students in schools.
