Our Mission
The Mindful Foundation is dedicated to creating a world where every individual feels safe, supported, and connected.
We work across the UK and South Africa with at-risk children and young people, survivors of abuse, and those at risk of causing harm.
Through trauma-informed education, psychotherapy, and holistic practices, we address the root causes of abuse. Our work strengthens resilience, promotes lifelong healing, and helps communities break free from cycles of harm.
Our Work
Three Core Strands
Think Different
Preventing abuse before it starts through trauma-informed education in schools and communities.
ListenApp
Supporting victims with a discreet, life-saving safety app that provides instant help when it’s needed most.
Perpetrator Programme
Working with those who cause harm to promote accountability, change behaviour, and protect families.
Why It Matters
2.4 million
In England and Wales, over 2.4 million adults experience abuse each year.
1 in 3
1 in 3 women worldwide and 1 in 6 men will experience domestic abuse in their lifetime.
11 minutes
On average, every 11 minutes a woman or girl is killed by someone she knows.
60%
In 2023, nearly 60% of women and girls murdered globally were killed by an intimate partner or family member.
Abuse isn’t inevitable. With prevention and education, we can break the cycle.
Testimonials
“Think Different transformed the children and caregivers. It came at a time of grief for our team, and the sessions gave our caregivers real tools to cope and heal.”
Valencia, Director at Khaya Centre
“The breathing exercises brought peace to my body. I’ve used them at home with my children when we had nothing to eat, and even before funerals. They truly made a difference.”
Lungi, Caregiver at Khaya Centre
“You could see the children light up during the sessions. They were energised, engaged, and still use the materials today.”
Jacques Nel, Head of School at Somerset College
“We wish we were taught this when we were young. Then we would have the tools now, as adults, to face adversity and life’s challenges.”
Phindile Msomi, Teacher at Nova Pioneer School
