Teachers, the school year leaves so many of us feeling exhausted, disconnected and unsupported. Rising childhood mental health, behavior and learning challenges has taken us on a wild ride. And it's no wonder-- with 1 in 6 young children having a mental health, behavior or developmental disorder, we see more and more dysregulated students. Throw in political volatility & admin demands and we've got the perfect recipe for burn-out.
I see you.
I see how much you give of yourself.
I know that you want to make a difference.
I understand how much effort that all takes.
You are strong. You are not invincible.
The work we do-- in our classrooms and in our own household is more sustainable when we create and nurture an environment where we all can thrive.
I believe in you.
I support you.
Together we can utilize nature as an element of learning, healing, and growth.
Together we can create a space where you and your students feel empowered, engaged and inspired.
