Our Story

StayMindful was created by high school students in order to empower our peers with mindfulness tools. Recognizing issues like alcohol use, academic and social anxiety, and troubling mental health statistics, we provide practical guidance and support.

Through StayMindful, we try to create a platform where teens can learn strategies to manage stress, improve productivity, and foster better relationships. Our goal is to positively impact teen mental health and well-being.
