    “SEN to You x Mindful MaMa” Community Project

    Training low-income women to provide mindfulness activities for SEN children and their carers to enhance the women's capacity and support the growth of SEN children

     

     

    The venture aims to provide eight sessions of special educational needs (SEN) mindfulness training to 20 women from low-income families who will then lead 32 mindfulness activities to support grassroots SEN children and their carers. The participating women will enjoy flexible employment opportunities that can enhance their competitiveness whereas SEN children will receive timely support during their crucial developmental stage. This project connects underprivileged women and SEN children, ultimately contributing to achieving social inclusion.
