We provide a hands-on, engaging well-being curriculum for adults, including administrators, counselors, and teachers.
Our Educator curriculum includes synthesized strategies that support educator well-being through consistent reflection and practice, as well as customized suggestions for teacher training, small group, and individual needs through implementation of our teacher well-being curriculum.
Our curriculum helps educators navigate compassion fatigue and burn-out, and supports resilient educators committed to the work of educating today’s students.

Prevention science starts with understanding the research that shows us what factors can play a role in the choices young people are making with the domains of community, family, school, and peers. The In Focus educator well-being course works with partners to address the needs of educators through sustainable protective factors. Aligned with the Protective Factor framework, our course addresses educator well-being by creating positive social connections among and between the course attendees as well as strengthens educators capacity to address their own well-being and the well-being of their students by engaging in social emotional competencies and topics.
Addressing educator well-being supports the tenets of prevention science by providing educators with strategies, mindsets, and resources to support their own well-being thus enabling them to better intentionally teach and support the students and families they work with.
