Our Story
Having each worked separately in education, Josh, Lindsey, and Alexandra saw firsthand how much students were struggling in schools. Alongside rising mental health concerns, our founders saw students at all levels who were having trouble paying attention, staying on task, interacting with peers, and regulating their emotions. In trying to support these needs along with the ever-present academic demands, teachers and school personnel were burnt out and overwhelmed.
After several years of working almost exclusively with students, our founders realized that the tools and strategies used to support a single student or classroom could also effectively support whole communities. Thus, InMind was born.Â
InMind Services exists to support students, teachers, and families in the school community. We believe that if every adult who consistently supports children is equipped with basic knowledge and strategies to create a supportive environment, we set up more children for a far better chance at success. Our mission is simple: we support those who support children.

Why We Do What We Do
Â
Our overarching goal is to support those who support children. While each member of our team has taken a different path to come to this work, we are all deeply passionate about creating spaces (both physical and emotional) where children can grow, develop, and thrive.
Our work is rooted in an understanding of human development and stress, and existing research in education and affective neuroscience. We believe that children prosper when adults have expanded their toolkits. Our tools and takeaways aren’t the only tools that exist— and those that work with us come with an existing set of their own— but we hope to leave each organization and individual feeling more equipped and prepared to support the children in their lives.
