Stanford SWEET first to receive MBSAT mindfulness workshops in Santa Clara County.

History was made this week as ‘Anamatangi, the inaugural service provider of Mindfulness-Based Substance Abuse Treatment (MBSAT) in both San Mateo and Santa Clara County, recently debuted its workshops at the Stanford SWEET (Stanford Winter Enrichment Experience for Teens) week-long conference.

This inaugural introduction of MBSAT to Peninsula-Bay Area youth adds another milestone to the journey of sharing mindfulness as a powerful tool to combat loneliness across our Counties, a transformative technique learned by high school students attending East Palo Alto Academy, Menlo Atherton High School and KIPP Academy.

‘Anamatangi MBSAT Certified facilitators completed two afternoon sessions, totaling thirty-six high school receiving an introduction to mindfulness and an interactive approach to talking about friends and accomplices, and the peer system. The impact of these workshops on students, new to the world of mindfulness, was nothing short of profound.

Crafting a program that seamlessly integrated into the broader themes of Stanford SWEET, ‘Anamatangi leveraged its 25+ years of community service to address not only substance abuse concerns but also broader aspects of wellness and post-high school planning.

This marked the first time that MBSAT was shared in Santa Clara County, furthering our objective to combat loneliness, a public health crisis declared first in the Country by San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
