Leading a Systemic Approach to Workplace Well-Being in Education
Wellness for teachers and education support staff means so much more than self-care: it requires systemwide change supported by leadership. But how do we get to a place where our teams feel safe and well cared for?
Join Canadian counsellor and workplace wellness coach Gail Markin as she discusses how embedding well-being in our practices at all levels of the workplace will create healthier, happier, and more successful education teams. Backed by the history and research into workplace well-being and psychological safety, Gail’s workshops provide practical examples and strategies that teams can implement right away.
“If you want to motivate your students, colleagues, and family members to work harder and better… care about them.”
