First Responder Mindfulness Academy empowers first responders with mindfulness strategies to be safe, healthy, and emotionally regulated. Founded by Gina Rollo White, a mindfulness educator and researcher, our programs teach first responders how to manage reactions, notice impulses, and work through emotions - in the moment, and when they go home.
"This training is SPOT ON as an intro to mindfulness for law enforcement. This is so applicable and useful to our line of work.Perfectly timed and presented. Gina ‘gets’ cops and knows how to present this topic in an interesting and accessible way."

“We should have brought Gina in sooner — she is great. It would be great to have her full time. This workshop took away the “stigma” of meditation and offered tools to help cope with daily life. Thank you for all the work you are doing with first responders.”
Workshops / Conference
“The workshop was short and to the point. I have always wanted to try meditation. This was an excellent introduction. I hope there are follow up classes. I would love the immersion program.”
