In schools: TIANS focus is on teaching mindfulness and restorative practices. Working in partnership with administrators, teachers, families, and communities, Jen Zehler designs and implements programs to provide school children (K - HS) with mindfulness skills that focus on how to be in the present moment with kindness, curiosity, and compassion. Since introducing this program in nine different school systems, data collected from surveys and interviews with the participating students has shown that these mindfulness practices can help children pay attention, regulate their emotions, manage stress, be kinder, and develop healthy friendships.

Programs for High School Students: The recent focus of the country on racial injustice and the many cases of bias toward those of African and Asian descent in our institutions, corporations, grocery stores, and school grounds has brought a greater awakening among the general population. TIANS is devoted to resetting our national consciousness around bias and racism and is dedicated to addressing the science that leads to both phenomena. Toward that end, TIANS has developed a mini-course that guides students into a clear understanding of how the human brain naturally engages in discrimination and bias, while it is the human mind that gets lured into embracing racial prejudice and racist behaviors. The TIANS course equips the next generation of American leaders with the self-awareness and analytical tools to understand and accept the human brain's natural computational processes, identify the cultural influences that lead to racial prejudice and racist behaviors, and realize the power that exists within their minds to choose the right path.

In Public Libraries: TIANS provides books to local public libraries and we are working with library staff to acquire books and learning materials related to mindfulness, neuroscience and the brain, coping with the corona virus pandemic, understanding bias and prejudice, and other timely topics.
