Facilitator Certification

Run MindfulBytes where you are

Four years of classrooms have produced a method that other people can carry: small circles, kids leading kids, an adult who knows how to hold the room. The founding cohort is the first group we certify to do it without us in the building.

Reserve a founding seat

Who this is for

  • ✓ Teachers and counselors who want to run MindfulBytes circles in their own school.
  • ✓ After-school, library, camp, and youth-program leaders.
  • ✓ Parents who want to lead a small circle for a homeschool co-op or a group of families.
  • ✓ Anyone who has watched a child name what a screen does to them and wants to be the adult who helps.

What certification covers

  • ✓ The four skills—digital self-awareness, emotional regulation, intentional use, threat recognition—and how children actually learn them.
  • ✓ Running a circle of four to six, cross-age pairs, and student-led sessions.
  • ✓ The facilitator guides and session materials, and how to use the Digital Wellness Assessment with a group.
  • ✓ A practicum: you run real sessions with feedback before you are certified.

The founding cohort

10

seats, so every member gets real attention

$250

refundable deposit holds a seat; applied in full to tuition

2027

start date set with the cohort, once the seats are filled

Here is the honest shape of it. Tuition and the exact schedule are set with the founding members, not before them, and founding seats come with a founding-cohort rate. Your deposit is refunded in full on request at any time before the cohort starts, no reason needed. If we do not fill the seats, every deposit comes back.

Certification is a MindfulBytes credential, issued by Merek Security Solutions, LLC. It is not a state teaching license or a clinical qualification, and we will not describe it as one.

Request a founding seat

Tell us where you would run MindfulBytes and we'll reply with the deposit link and the cohort details. Seats are confirmed in the order deposits arrive.

One line is plenty. It shapes what we build first.

No charge, no commitment. We use your email only for updates on this, and you can leave the list any time. See our privacy policy.

Want MindfulBytes in your school first?

Many facilitators start as partner-school teachers. If your school is not a partner yet, that is the shorter path.
