“In 2016, Lineage Project delivered mindfulness practices to over 1,300 youth who are incarcerated, homeless, suspended from school, and at risk of school failure. Lineage also offered professional trainings that prepared participants, such as teachers, social workers, and caregivers, to incorporate trauma-informed mindfulness techniques into their work with youth, and to use mindfulness tools for self-care to reduce secondary trauma. In 2016, research on Lineages impact was published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology. This research shows that the Lineage Model helped justice-involved young men regulate their emotions, cope with high levels of stress and anxiety, and can potentially reduce the likelihood of justice system re-involvement. During 2016, Lineage successfully completed the first full year of its groundbreaking arts and mindfulness after-school program inside Horizon Juvenile Center, a secure youth detention center in the Bronx. We received a renewed contract from the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development to continue this program for the next two years. Lineage also expanded its classes for incarcerated youth, and increased its services for homeless youth through a partnership with a public school where over 75% of the students live in shelters. Additionally, Lineage continued providing mindfulness programs to students with academic, truancy, and behavioral challenges, serving students in high-need public schools and long-term suspension sites. During 2016, Lineage completed the second phase of an ambitious capacity building agenda, hiring its first Director of Finance and Administration, strengthening its fundraising infrastructure, and crafting a blueprint for long-term programmatic growth.”
