The current and deepening focus of the Maritz Family Foundation is on the developing child, from the perinatal experience through adolescence, and the relationships that shape their social, emotional, neurological, cognitive, and spiritual domains of development. We are especially interested in the capacity of the adults who surround and support these children and youth to manage their own stress, regulate emotion, focus attention, and to be mindfully present in the service of co-regulation, secure attachment, and the subsequent development of empathic and compassionate hearts and minds.
