Adams Bio:

Fifteen year old Adam Avin created the Wuf Shanti Children's Wellness Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization, to teach mindfulness and social emotional learning, so children can live in health and wellness & peace and positivity. Wuf Shanti has two tracks, one for early learning 3-10 years old, with fun, games, videos, books, a mobile app, and a dog mascot character that visits schools and hospitals, and one for tweens and teens 11-17 years-old. Children learn mindfulness, yoga, meditation, communication, kindness, gratitude, self-awareness, self-regulation, compassion, positive thinking, inclusion, collaboration, empathy, positive psychology, and more. These techniques help kids stay physically fit, mentally less stressed, able to cope with emotions and stress, and interact with kindness. Adam also founded the Kids' Association for Mindfulness in Education, where youth come together to mindfully do good in the world, and the international online Mindful Kids Peace Summit, which is a 5 day online global summit for teens in middle and high schools all over the world. The Summit was mentioned in CASEL’s newsletter, Psychology Today, goop Magazine, Maroon 5’s FB, & more!

Wuf Shanti has produced 7 books, a free mobile app with signature games, 100 videos, which have run on local PBS stations, the Children's TV Network (the station in children hospitals across the nation), Adventure to Learning (health and fitness video programming in 25,000 schools), and on KidoodleTv (safe streaming network for kids).

Anxiety, depression, bullying, anger, suicide, and homicide have really risen among kids and teens, so it’s important to teach kids the tools to stay healthy--physically and mentally—so they can grow up to be less depressed and anxious teens and happier, more peace-loving content adults.

Adam is certified in Kidding Around Yoga, Rainbow Kids Yoga, Mindful Based Stress Reduction for teens, and the Emotion Code. He recently gave a TEDxTalk about getting mindful and social emotional learning programs into our education system, why mental health education is so important to stopping the violence, and using our voice to make a positive difference in the world.

This short peer-to-peer instructional video teaches strategies that kids can use to self-regulate their emotions and create a healthy self-image. The goal is to create a daily routine for kids, to practice a short exercise every day. If children learn to implement the strategies daily, they will learn how to withstand any obstacles that are presented to them (negative self-talk, fights, anger, sadness as well as bullying and mistreatment of any kind)!
