Critical Information

The number of children ages 3 to 17 struggling with anxiety or depression rose by 1.5 million between 2016 and 2020. Educators trained in resilience will fortify their students and raise their potential for learning.

Resilience in Your Classroom

From a solid foundation in resilience, faculty will learn how to apply this learning to their work in students. Through curriculum, addressing behavioral issues, and goal setting, we can cultivate healthier learners.
  • SELF
    To effectively intervene with students, we explore our motivation, bias and intention. Faculty members who understand the basis for dis-ease and the core elements of growing resilience to help their students, will be rewarded.
  • STUDENT
    Developing skills for effective student intervention is grounded in psychosocial emotional learning (PSEL). Fifteen skills are designed to help student learn how to constructively meet their needs.
  • School
    Each class nurturing the well-being of students will collectively establish the norms for the school. Faculty who can embody resilience will more easily cultivate healthy classroom climates.
