Our Mission

TO FOSTER PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY IN A COMPASSIONATE AND NON-JUDGEMENTAL SETTING FOR STUDENTS OF ALL IDENTITIES, BACKGROUNDS, AND ABILITIES BY HELPING THEM EMBRACE MINDFULNESS. 

​

Why this work matters

Young people today face unprecedented pressures—academic stress, social media overwhelm, uncertain futures, and a mental health crisis that continues to intensify. Many lack effective coping mechanisms to navigate stress, fear, and life's inevitable challenges.


Apart But Not Alone provides accessible, evidence-based mindfulness training in a supportive community setting. Whether joining our global online sessions or participating in a local chapter, everyone finds a safe space to develop tools for lifelong wellbeing.  

​

Benefits of mindfulness

Several studies (such as at MIT & Harvard) have scientifically proven that mindfulness empowers students to:

  • Stay calm during crisis

  • Improve focus and enhance academic performance

  • Build resilience

  • Lower anxiety and severity of depression

  • Increase emotional intelligence
