TEAMING FOR WELL-BEING
Well-being is an umbrella term including the psychological, cognitive, social and physical health of ALL students. All students, from those who have experienced trauma to students with disabilities and beyond deserve a safe and inclusive learning environment. Social emotional learning is utilized to teach needed skills and build resilience for the students and the school community. Additionally, the education system must always support staff and families and create a partnership in order to fully impact all learners.
OUR VISION
We envision that all schools will have the capacity to intentionally support the well-being of all students.
OUR MISSION
Teaming for Well-Being exists to bring teams together to create a system that supports well-being and promotes healthy communities.
WHAT IS YOUR WHY?
Everyone who is part of this movement needs to FULLY believe in the 30 second elevator speech they share with anyone who asks, "Why are we doing this?"

The Holistic Development of Young People
"The increasing awareness and research behind social and emotional learning (SEL) is shining light on a truth that special education teachers have long known: Building supportive relationships, increasing self-efficacy, and helping students learn how to manage their emotions are factors critical to student success. All students can benefit from SEL, yet as special education teachers know, building social and emotional competence is especially important for students with disabilities."
On October 19th, 2021, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) released a new resource: Supporting Child and Student Social, Emotional, Behavioral and Mental Health to provide information and resources to enhance the promotion of mental health and the social and emotional well-being among children and students.
