We help educators improve their well-being.
We believe that attending to the well-being of educators is a prerequisite to achieving the results with students each of us desires. Through our program, participants learn concrete, evidence-based strategies to help them avoid and manage most common pitfalls of the educator experience: overwhelm, personal neglect, adult conflict, unexpected challenges, and isolation.
Since our founding at Harvard University in 2018, we've supported schools, districts, unions, and county offices across the world to incorporate well-being supports into their programmatic offerings. Participants reported statistically significant declines in burnout, depression, and anxiety alongside increases in resilience and subjective well-being.
