The Jewish Community Centre is honoured to host the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education present on Heart-Mind Well-Being.

Heart-Mind Well-Bring refers to the balance between educating the mind and educating the heart. The heart and mind are interconnected, and educating the heart has positive benefits for social and emotional development. Children and youth who learn these skills have better attitudes about themselves and other, and are better equipped for the workforce and contributing in the community when they become adults.

Her role as founder and manager of the RSVP Program, an award winning and widely utilized Social Emotional Learning program in Vancouver schools, allowed her first-hand exposure to the tremendous value of educating children's hearts.
