The Brain Garden Trust

We would like to raise funds to further develop our mindfulness program & to deliver it to children and their families across New Zealand.

The Brain Garden Trust is a registered charity who provide Mindfulness-based support to children, and their families, living with long-term health conditions.

We believe children, their parents and their families should have access to resources and skills to help them develop coping strategies that enable self-acceptance, confidence, happiness and lead a fulfilled life.

Every year a significant number of New Zealand children are born or diagnosed with life-changing, long-term health conditions.

We’ve seen first-hand the positive benefits of gently aligning body and mind through mindfulness-based skills and resources. We want to share this with the people who need it most. Children who are experiencing persistent pain, trauma, anxiety, stress and overwhelm because of a life-changing, long-term health condition and their families who often feel unprepared and helpless while supporting them.

We want families to feel supported, empowered and connected while navigating a life they didn’t prepare for. Living with long-term health conditions isn’t game over, it’s just a different journey.
