Educators – Programs + Resources
Programs and Resources for Educators

Providing the best education means providing students the highest level of care and connection.
As educators, we want every student in our schools to feel cared for and develop the skills they need to care for themselves and others—creating a more caring, just world.
But there’s a lot that gets in the way. Especially these days.
Student mental health challenges. COVID-related learning loss. And new, evolving educational policies.
