Professional Development Programs for Educators, Leaders, & Staff 
Build your team's Sustainable Wellness toolkit

​Anxiety, stress, and burnout have reached epidemic levels in education, and as a result, far too many  K-12 professionals leave before they've even really begun.  Fortunately, we are learning that there are specific skills that we can cultivate to increase our resilience and wellbeing, and thereby also improve our performance and enjoyment of our work.  

Many school-based resilience and wellbeing programs focus on the kids. The folks who run the classroom, the school, and the district are often left out of the wellbeing equation. 

Whether your school is embracing mindfulness already, you're developing the language to explore integration, or you only want to commit to the wellbeing of your people, we can help.  Our programs demystify mindfulness and self-compassion, provide the scientific support, and offer specific practical tools for integrating them into work and life.

We offer workshops and customized programs for teachers & staff as well as district-wide leadership.

Program options include:
>Single-Session Introductory Presentations
  • Cultivating Sustainable Wellness from the Inside Out
  • The Foundations of Mindfulness-  for Educators OR for Parents & Caregivers
  • An Introduction to the Science of Self-Compassion
> Intensive Workshops 
  • Mindfulness for Work, Mindfulness for Life (3 - 8 hours)
  • Building Resilient Teachers with Mindfulness & Self-Compassion (3 - 8 hours)
> Multi-Session Series
  • Mindful & Resilient Leaders Program (Four-six monthly sessions)
  • Introduction to Mindfulness for Educators (60 to 90 minute weekly classes for 6 - 8 weeks)
  • Mindfulness- Based Stress Reduction (2.5 hour weekly classes for 8 weeks, plus all day retreat)
 
“Christy’s Foundations of Mindfulness staff development was extremely well received by our entire Leadership/Management Team.
As part of our focus on social emotional learning, we have committed to having all members in our organization thoughtfully and intentionally engage in self-care and mindful practices ​to model positive well-being.  Our team has embraced the practices shared by Christy and we were all impressed with her thoughtful and engaging presentation.
It is already transforming the work we do!”
