What?
Leading school communities has never been more stressful. All stakeholders are faced with the often-conflicting demands of pushing academic rigor while also supporting student and staff mental health and wellness. Teachers are at the forefront of this stress, resulting in unprecedented teacher shortages and erosion of school culture. The research is clear - the first step in creating vibrant and supportive communities for children is to invest in staff social and emotional wellness. This workshop will give leaders the tools to create psychologically healthy and vibrant school culture that supports staff wellness, engagement, work satisfaction and resilience.
