About this organization
Mission
The David Lynch Foundation helps to prevent and eradicate the all-pervasive epidemic of trauma and toxic stress among at-risk populations through promoting widespread implementation of the evidence-based Transcendental Meditation (TM) program in order to improve their health, cognitive capabilities and performance in life.
About
Education programs: The David Lynch Foundation's education program, Quiet Time, focuses on students in low income urban schools; growing up in an oppressive climate of poverty, violence, and fear, limiting their abilities to focus and learn to impact life outcomes. The Quiet Time program is a practical evidence-based approach that has been proven to improve focus, academic performance, and student wellness while reducing stress, absenteeism, suspensions, and negative behaviors. Quiet Time provides students with two 15-minute periods of TM each day to help balance their lives and improve their readiness to learn. This schoolwide program complements existing educational strategies by improving the physiological underpinnings of learning and behavior. Research also suggests that teachers and administrators who practice TM experience reduced stress and burnout. DLF-funded Quiet Time programs include public and private charter schools in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
