MISSION & HISTORY.

Building a safer, calmer world where children are protected from the harmful impacts of anger & rage. We are dedicated to fostering mental wellness, tranquility, and a sense of calm in a world struggling with stress, anxiety, and cruelty.

The Day of Calm Foundation Inc. was founded in response to the epidemic of school shootings, familial, and community dysfunction, abuse, and violence. Inspired by the founder's father, who battled childhood trauma, our organization strives to create lasting change by addressing the root causes of violence and advocating for mental health prioritization and social justice. The International Day of Calm on April 5th serves as a cornerstone event, promoting emotional well-being and healthy communication within families and communities.

The Challenges of
Not Staying Calm.

A lack of calm leads to stress, broken relationships, and struggling communities. At Day of Calm, we empower individuals and families with tools to foster peace, resilience, and compassion, creating a world where calm thrives.

Poor Decision Making

When you're not calm, your ability to think clearly and rationally is compromised. This can lead to impulsive decisions, poor judgment, and actions that might worsen the situation.

Increased Stress and Anxiety

Losing calm often leads to heightened stress and anxiety levels. Chronic stress can have serious health implications, including cardiovascular issues, weakened immune system, and mental health disorders like depression and anxiety.

Missed Opportunities

In a state of agitation or panic, you might miss out on opportunities that require a calm, measured approach, such as thoughtful negotiations or creative problem-solving.

Emotional Drain

Not staying calm can be emotionally draining. It can lead to feelings of overwhelm, frustration, and burnout, which can affect all areas of life.

Decreased Productivity

In a work or academic setting, a lack of calm can hinder your ability to focus and work efficiently, leading to decreased productivity and potential errors.
