Mindfulness with the Mets

Mindfulness with the Mets is a wellness initiative created to support the mental health of young people in our community. The program encourages students to explore the importance of mental well-being, develop positive thinking habits, and learn strategies to ease anxiety and manage emotional challenges.

Through the Amazin’ Mets Foundation, grants have supported programs like Girls Inc.’s “Mind Body Matters” initiative at Astoria Women’s Leadership School, which helps students build mental resilience through mindfulness and wellness education.

The Foundation also funds mental health services through local partners, including the Child Center of NY. At their center in Woodside, Queens, licensed professionals provide therapy and substance abuse support to children and adolescents, including those in foster care, ensuring critical access to care and support in a safe, welcoming environment.
