# Whitepapers & Guides

Evidence-informed THC whitepapers on schools, children, Yoga Nidra, nondual awareness, workplace wellbeing, anxiety, focus, and athletic performance.

The Holistic Care publishes free, evidence-informed whitepapers for educators, parents, practitioners, organisations, athletes, and individual learners.

These guides are designed to sit between a short blog article and a formal academic paper: practical enough to use, but careful about evidence, limitations, and responsible claims.

The current public collection covers:

* mindfulness in schools
* mindfulness for children
* Yoga Nidra
* nondual awareness
* corporate mindfulness and conscious leadership
* mindfulness for anxiety
* mindfulness for focus and academic performance
* meditation for athletes

Many THC whitepapers also introduce a practical framework such as **CALM, ROOTS, REST, SPACE, CLEAR, TRUST,** or **FOCUS**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.theholisticcare.com/knowledge/whitepapers-and-guides.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
