When we think of ways to improve the health of schools in our community, many of us may default to thinking about this from the student point of view – i.e., how can we teach students to make healthier choices during the school day? How do we help students see the connection between their health and their educational achievement? How do we lay the foundation for habits of health in students that will last a lifetime?

But truth be told, a healthy school environment, one where everyone is thriving, is as dependent upon the health and wellbeing of all members of the school community — students, staff and teachers alike.

Thriving Schools recognizes that school employee wellness is vital to the equation of health and wellbeing. A special focus on school employee wellness initiatives can help with reducing stress and boosting morale. It supports productivity in the workplace and reduces turnover and burnout among employees. And teachers and staff who are supported in their health will naturally teach these lessons to students.
