The goal of the Art of Living Foundation is to improve the mental, physical and emotional health of the individual — particularly those who are disadvantaged or suffering from depression or chronic disease.
To this end, the Foundation's main objectives are:
* To reduce individual drug, alcohol, tobacco and other addictions.
* To adopt a holistic approach to alleviating human suffering, and thereby assist in a beneficial transformation of society.
* To aid victims of crime and others (including offenders) who are experiencing post-traumatic stress.
* To assist indigenous people to achieve individual and community health, particularly related to the reduction of violence, abuse, alcohol and substance addictions.
* To promote life skills among the youth, particularly those experiencing health, family or social problems.
