Resource Teacher Learning and Behaviour Clusters 16, 17, 18 | Ministry of Education Intensive Wraparound Services Whangarei
*Any funding provided by organisations has limits set by funders such as school decile, year level, region, quantity and timeframe.
Clinical Psychology and Academic support for PBS
Enormous gratitude goes to the research teams and experts in Education and Psychology at AUT and University of Auckland who contributed to the peer-review of the draft PBS programme, and led the three published research studies of PBS [insert link to research page].
It is wonderful to continue collaborating with AUT, by speaking at the International Mindfulness Conference, and by leading an intervention teaching AUT tertiary students mindfulness via webinar, which we understand was the first time that statistically significant results – in relation to reduced anxiety, depression and repetitive negative thinking – were gained via an online mindfulness intervention.
Thanks to the Youth Health Alliance for funding a number of intermediate school teachers in Auckland to train in PBS.
We are grateful for the clinical trials of PBS being undertaken by the Psychology Centre, University of Canterbury, trialling PBS for children experiencing clinical levels of anxiety - with early indications show good results.
Massey University are currently working on research of PBS for children’s wellbeing.

Grass-roots Aotearoa New Zealand mindfulness organisations, collaborations, trainers and friends:
In 2018 we collaborated with The Kindness Institute on a petition to the Government Inquiry for Mental Health and Addiction, calling for children and youth mental skills training of PBS and Atawhai programmes to be funded. Almost 15,000 people signed this petition – the largest submission of any that went to the Inquiry Panel. THANK-YOU to all who have shown their support for PBS by signing this petition!
In 2018 we presented at the inaugural Mindful Leaders conference and spoke on the expert panel. 
Thanks to the Mindfulness for Change community for organising this hui and supporting our work.
We value the respect and support for PBS from Mindfulness Works, Mindfulness Training.
And of course a huge thank you to the over 330 schools nationwide that have taken part in the Pause, Breathe, Smile professional development since 2014.
