Is Your Staff Running on Empty: Supporting school staff with a wellness program

School leaders! We all know that the heartbeat of any great school is its staff. But if your teachers and support team are burning out faster than a printer on the first day of school, it’s time to take a pause. Let’s talk about something that’s going to make your staff feel valued, supported, and—dare we say it—energized again. 

Why Wellness Programs? Because Burnout is REAL

Teaching is no joke, and it is certainly not for the faint of heart. From managing student meltdowns and classroom antics, teachers are real-life superheroes. Your staff is conducting super-human feats each day—sometimes even before lunch!

Wellness can offer a reprieve from these stressful days and months. As your staff may be juggling too many tasks—including their own personal world—wellness is paramount to their health. Compassion fatigue and burnout usually follow. If your team is feeling the effects of burnout, it is time for you to step in before everyone, including the students, is affected.

What is the Solution? A Monthly Wellness Recharge!

Imagine finding a solution to teacher and school staff burnout… HERE IT IS! A monthly wellness recharge is the key. This wellness program offers a safe space to breathe and unwind, process emotional situations, and obtain new and practical tools to feel better. These tools can be easily implemented both in personal and professional life.

Our Trauma-Informed Wellness Program was designed for you and your staff. In 10 months, your staff will receive the support they need to obtain the following:

  • Build resilience

  • Manage stress

  • And have fun!

This wellness program teaches life skills that can be beneficial in every situation in all parts of life. These actionable strategies will make all the difference!

How the Program Helps Your Team Thrive

Here are the top ways this wellness program helps your team thrive:

Goodbye compassion fatigue, hello renewed energy!

Compassion fatigue is when you offer so much care to others that it negatively affects you. Many people care for others to the point they begin to neglect themselves and their own needs.

This program helps your team recognize the early signs of compassion fatigue. Once it is detected, these tools teach them how to bounce back and restabilize before they run on empty.

Emotional regulation

This part of the wellness program teaches your staff how to keep their cool. Teaching is an inherently stressful job. Learning how to handle that stress is what builds resilience. 

We teach your staff proven techniques such as breathing exercises and mindfulness. These tools help people stay calm, cool, and collected, even under high-pressure situations.

Build resilience

Building resilience is the ultimate superpower for a teacher. Not only does it teach you to bounce back, but it also teaches you to come back stronger than before.

Throughout our program, your team will be taught how to handle and endure tough scenarios, build that grit that gets things done, and move forward without feeling heavy and weighed down.


Healthy boundaries

Healthy boundaries are everything. These boundaries equal happy teachers! If your staff is up all hours of the evening answering emails, this is a recipe for a disaster. Boundaries will help.

We teach your staff how to set appropriate boundaries, create balance in their lives, and protect their precious downtime—because no one is allowed access to them 24/7.

Positive school culture

Creating a positive school culture is a priority! When your team feels good, their energy spreads throughout the school grounds. The more positive the classrooms, the more positive and better functioning the school.

Teachers are more engaged, students are happier and feel supported, and everyone benefits from happy and positive vibes. Our wellness program helps you to create the best positive school culture possible.


How Does the Program Work?

Once a month, your team gets together to participate in a wellness session. This is not just educational, but it is also FUN and engaging! We offer everything from emotional regulation to compassion fatigue, boundary-setting, and resilience-building. All parts of the session can be used in all areas of life.

Our 10-month program includes the following:

  • Trauma-Informed Care: Helping staff understand how trauma impacts both them and their students—and what they can do about it.

  • Managing Stress: Quick, effective tools that help manage stress.

  • Compassion Fatigue: Recognizing when they are given too much work, and how to focus on helping themselves.

  • Resilience-Building: Real strategies for bouncing back—and stronger than before.

  • Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation: Finding calm and peace, even amongst the chaos.

  • Boundary Setting: How to set appropriate boundaries and draw the line between work and personal time—and not feel bad about it.
