A joint collaboration between 天美传媒 and Network Support Services (NSS), the Mindfulness Resolution Project connects students with those who have reentered society after imprisonment.<\/p>\n
Those who are about to be released from prison or placed on parole have a support system in Network Support Services<\/a>, an organization that teaches mindfulness\u2014a practice of quiet meditation and deliberation\u2014as part of its extensive prison rehabilitation support. The Adelphi program offers courses and internships to students, who learn about the roles compassion and empathy play in the process\u2014and that \u201cmindfulness is more than just closing your eyes and breathing,\u201d as one student put it. They then interview these rehabilitated men and women about their future plans, hopes and dreams.<\/p>\n For instance, Cristina Zaccarini, PhD, Adelphi professor of history<\/a> and a certified mindfulness instructor, assigns her students to interview rehabilitated men and women preselected by NSS, and then write short testimonial biographies that can help them reenter the job market, obtain housing and meet other challenges. The written and audio bios are posted online, serving as testimonials to be used in applications, chiefly for housing and jobs. Watch these interviews, along with the short bios. <\/a><\/p>\n Besides visiting the classes to share his experiences, Network Support Services Director of Community Outreach NahShon Jackson facilitates contact between students, those who are justice-impacted, and potential employers, landlords and others who can help with the process of successful reentry.<\/p>\n This program seeks to provide Adelphi students with an understanding of the power of compassion and rehabilitation for those who, in many instances, never had a chance to pursue a meaningful education.<\/p>\n To show her students the power of mindfulness in even the most challenging of circumstances, Dr. Zaccarini organized a collaboration with NSS in 2022 that involved teaching mindfulness as part of the rehabilitation and reentry programs<\/a> that NSS provides incarcerated people and those on parole in New York state.<\/p>\nMindfulness Resolution Project Videos<\/h2>\n\n\n
