In education, a whole-child philosophy is integral to a school's ability to engage and cultivate engaged learners. Just as important, we need to apply this philosophy to the adults in all settings of school. All educators are welcome to attend and learn more about the Stay Well program, review the eight dimensions of wellness and discuss strategies for incorporating skills into everyday practices.

Sessions are virtual from 4 - 5 p.m. on these dates:

  There is nothing easy about working alongside human beings to help develop other human beings grow and learn. Naturally, as with all other hard, interdependent relationships in our lives, there are going to be times when we have to have difficult conversations. Many of us, though, have either never been taught how to have those conversations in healthy ways, or we have been taught that being compliant or quiet is our proper role.
