The training courses are given in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain, Latin America and Hong Kong. The Academy has developed several training programmes and four handbooks for different age categories, from 5 to 19 years of age. Because children aged between 4 and 7 proved to need different meditations and work formats to children aged between 8 and 12. This is also true for the differences between 13-year-old adolescents and 19-year-old youths. These handbooks for trainers are used in many schools. Both in primary and secondary education, and in mental health organisations, revalidation centres and private practices. Thousands of children have now followed the ‘Mindfulness Matters' training.
