#257 Replacing Detention with Meditation in Public Schools Health & Wellness

Baltimore students who act out in school often don't have access to resources that will allow them to process their frustrations and reflect on their behavior. To combat this Robert W. Coleman Elementary School created a "Mindful Moment Room" — a safe space where disruptive students that might otherwise be sent to detention or suspended can go to breathe, meditate, and reflect on their actions. This initiative has been very successful at Coleman, as well as at Patterson High School. https://www.cnn.com/2016/11/04/health/meditation-in-schools-baltimore/index.html
