Stress, burnout, and mental health concerns are all issues that many educators across the U.S. have faced. COVID amplified these issues even more. As an educator, Kathryn Kennedy experienced them all firsthand. She knew she wasn’t the only one feeling it. Born out of a desire and immediate need for a solution to the rising stress levels in education, Wellness for Educators works to support educators through whole-school, research-based, trauma- and equity-informed, somatic (mind-body) education, practices, and strategies for mental, physical, social, and emotional health and wellbeing.
