Inner Harmony Wellness Launches Mindfulness Program in Schools

Dr. Peter Amato to Lead Initiative Promoting Mental Health, Wellness, and Drug & Alcohol Guidance

The Inner Harmony Group, a leader in holistic health and wellness, is proud to announce the launch of a transformative new program that will bring social emotional awareness and mindfulness education to public school districts across Pennsylvania. Spearheaded by Dr. Peter Amato, the esteemed founder of Inner Harmony Wellness Center & The Inner Harmony Group, this initiative aims to enhance mental health, overall wellness, and provide crucial guidance on drug and alcohol issues for students.

With the growing awareness of the importance of mental health and the rising concerns about substance abuse among young people, and emotional burnout of those working within the school system, this program is a timely and critical addition to the educational landscape. Dr. Amato, a recognized authority in the field of mindfulness and integrative medicine, will be at the forefront of this initiative, delivering expert training to students, teachers, and administrators.

“Schools are the heart of our communities, and it’s essential that we equip our young people with the tools they need to thrive both mentally and physically,” said Dr. Peter Amato. “Through mindfulness practices, we can help students manage stress, make healthier decisions, and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives. I am honored to partner with Pennsylvania’s public schools to make a positive impact on the future of our youth.”

This initiative began with the Hanover Area School District (HASD) who have already embraced this program with enthusiasm. This collaboration is in its early stages, and HASD is committed to ensuring that all elementary students benefit from the mindfulness practices offered by Inner Harmony Group.

The program will encompass a comprehensive curriculum tailored to the needs of each school district, focusing on:

• Mindfulness Training: Techniques to help students cultivate awareness, reduce anxiety, and improve focus in the classroom and beyond.
• Mental Health Support: Strategies for recognizing and addressing mental health challenges, promoting resilience and emotional well-being.
• Drug & Alcohol Guidance: Educational sessions aimed at prevention, informed decision-making, and support for students at risk.

Inner Harmony Wellness has long been at the forefront of holistic health for almost 30 years, and this new initiative is a natural extension of the organization’s mission to foster wellness in all aspects of life. The program will launch in select school districts with plans for statewide expansion in the coming years.
