We seek to build teachers’ capacity for addressing wellbeing in an ongoing way. We believe that every teacher can be a teacher of wellbeing.
Our trainings equip teachers to facilitate the programmes. We support teachers to think about behaviour as communication and to consider the unique social dynamics of their class. This reflective space gives teachers the opportunity to address the social and emotional needs of their class and their own feelings and responses as their teacher.
“Very informative and touches upon all the feelings/behaviours and emotions we see day in and day out. Excited to facilitate the programme”
