Overview

Mindfulness is a term that is increasingly used in discussions about health, wellbeing, education, and everyday life. It appears in a wide range of settings, including healthcare services, schools, workplaces, and community programs. Despite its growing visibility, mindfulness is often described in inconsistent or simplified ways, which can lead to misunderstanding about what it involves and how it relates to wellbeing. This site provides clear, neutral, public-interest information about mindfulness. It is intended to support general understanding, explain how mindfulness is commonly described and used, and clarify its limits. The information provided is educational in nature and is not intended to replace professional advice or care.
