Mental health and wellness are more important than ever, and now there’s an organization to help.

The Deerfield Beach High School Mind and Body Association, is starting student breathings every Tuesday and Thursday by offering M.B.A. Mindful Mornings on a Microsoft Teams Meeting until students can go back to school.

They are currently looking for Mind Body Ambassador who are well-rounded students and have an interest in not only bettering themselves but others as well. As an ambassador the student will not only represent M.B.A. but the Deerfield Beach community, so they need to understand about the significance of mindfulness practices to be beneficial, and willing to lead students through mindfulness practices both in their own classes and before school with that important student to student dawn stretch at 8:10am -8:20am.

“MBA has changed my life, and I hope it can do the same for others,” senior and student co-founder Malav Patel said.

The MBA plans to teach techniques that encourage mindfulness and hope to make students’ and teachers’ days even just a little better with this ten minute exercise, which is open to ALL students and led by students.

“It is a great way to start the day and also create community for any student” Advisor and I.B. Theory of Knowledge Teacher Ms. Beaty said. She would like to see every student use the teams code (kze91ru).

The Mind Body Association is still accepting interested students who are 10^th-12^th graders to become an ambassador. If you know of a students who may be interested please share the application with them. If interested email Lead MBA Ambassador Malav Patel at malav02@yahoo.com or Advisor Ms. Beaty at stephaniedarlene.beaty@browardschools.com with the completed application.
