The Kindness Institute Charitable Trust

We dream of a world where every young person can have the skills they need to manage stress and profoundly improve their own lives.

Auckland

The Kindness Institute's aim is for vulnerable youth to develop inner resources to reach their own potential.

We develop and deliver Mindfulness & yoga-based programmes in partnership with vulnerable youth aged 13-18. Our unique programs incorporate Mindfulness, yoga, stress reduction & emotional intelligence to help students develop positive relationships and live meaningful lives, whatever that is for each individual.

The Kindness Institute was established in direct response to Aotearoa’s youth mental health crisis and empowers marginalised rangatahi to transform their mental health and wellbeing, and that of those around them. Their programmes are rangatahi-led, grounded in kaupapa Māori, and designed to develop resilience and leadership.

The direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic is delivering immediate, effective and essential solutions for mental health support, as rangatahi are isolated and without their usual support network of peers and teachers, sometimes in difficult home environments, putting them at risk of ongoing mental health issues.
