Day of Calm Foundation Inc

Building a Calmer World

One Child, One Home, One School at a Time

The Day of Calm Foundation Inc. was born out of urgency and hope.

In the face of rising school shootings, domestic violence, emotional neglect, and widespread community trauma, we are on a mission to address the root causes of these crises and rewrite the narrative for the next generation.

Founded in honor of our founder’s father, who endured a painful childhood marked by trauma, the Day of Calm is more than an organization—it’s a movement. We exist to break generational cycles of rage, fear, and chaos by replacing them with calm, connection, and healing.

We believe that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, emotionally supportive environment — free from the harmful impacts of anger and violence. And we believe every adult can be empowered with the tools to create it.

Our Work in Action

Through our free resources, community-based trainings, and global campaigns, we:

• Help parents and caregivers eliminate yelling and power struggles at home through trauma-informed parenting programs.

• Train teachers to foster expressive, emotionally safe learning environments for their students.

• Build Calm Corners in schools & rebuild those schools that can't exist as they are — especially in underserved areas like Uganda—so children have spaces to pause, breathe, and self-regulate.

• Host the annual International Day of Calm (April 5), inviting families, schools, and communities around the world to take a stand for peace and emotional wellness.

• Host Calming Circles: local, family-friendly gatherings that unite parents, experts, and community members to inspire calm, cooperation, and connection through engaging, peaceful activities.

Our Four Pillars of Calm

                             

🟦 Personal Responsibility
Change starts with us. We guide adults to become aware of their emotional triggers and take ownership of their behavior, ending cycles of blame and judgment.

🔴 Intentional Parenting
We empower parents to build respectful, connected homes rooted in cooperation and empathy, not punishment and control.

🟩 Expressive Education
We support teachers in creating classrooms that nurture curiosity, self-expression, and emotional intelligence because every child learns best when they feel safe.

🟪 Safety & Security
We work to ensure every child can grow up without the fear of emotional, verbal, or physical harm. Calm is a basic human right—not a privilege.

At the heart of it all is the child. Our work is for them, through the adults who raise, teach, and protect them.

Why It Matters

Trauma doesn’t begin in war zones. It begins in living rooms. Anger doesn’t only destroy governments. It destroys childhoods.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

By providing families with knowledge, schools with tools, and communities with hope, we can END the cycle of violence, stress, and emotional disconnection and replace it with calm, resilience, and healing.
