"Davis School District implemented a similar Mindful Schools program more than a year ago to address anxiety and depression among its students." 

"In Utah, 25 percent of students felt depressive symptoms, according to the survey data. And at the national level, 1 in 5 youth have anxiety or a mood disorder, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.  Hutchinson believes the Mindful Schools program will specifically address mental health concerns in the district.  “We do very well teaching our kids to escape problems and escape life. Mindfulness helps them cope with where they are,” she said"

"Two years ago, the Davis School District Davis Behavioral Health conducted a pilot program implementing mindfulness in South Weber Elementary School and found mindfulness helped students’ ability to concentrate and identify and regulate their emotions.   Their survey of students and teachers concluded that 82 percent of the students in the pilot program said they would continue using mindfulness. Sixty-two percent said mindfulness helped them focus in class better, and 54 percent of students said mindfulness helps them avoid fights."
