Professional Development
Pathways to Wellness in Education
Wellness is an integral part of a school community: healthy students are better learners and healthy teachers are better leaders. Nurturing the wellness of a school community contributes to positive social, emotional, mental and physical outcomes, which all lead to more overall engagement from learners.

There are two types of workshops we offer, each with a special focus: increasing students’ wellness, and increasing educators’ wellness.
