Helping Teachers: Wellness Match Initiative
We’re concerned about the amount of stress our teachers and school employees are facing.
Teachers and school staff have been working incredibly hard these days. Many have had to figure out distance learning under stressful conditions without training. They’ve handled it with incredible grace; however, the truth is, teachers were extremely stressed before this pandemic began. Just ask your kiddo’s teacher.
Forty-six percent of teachers report high daily stress, which compromises their health, sleep, quality of life and teaching performance. Teacher stress trickles down to our kids. When teachers are highly stressed, students show lower levels of social adjustment and academic performance.
We know we can help...with your help.
We’ve shared The Rooted School: Employee Wellness Program with schools, and the feedback is always, “We’d love to offer this program to our staff, but the funds are not there.” So, we got creative and put together a school/business partnership program (with a twist), and we’d love to have you join us or help spread the word.
We’ve created a Wellness Match Initiative.
We’re making a ‘waiting list’ of schools that would like to offer The Rooted School: Employee Wellness Plan, but don’t have funding. We’re looking for businesses willing to invest in the mental well-being of not only their own staff but teachers and school staff as well. We know our program will help teachers and school staff navigate the stress load they face every day.
Here’s how it works.
We’ve changed the traditional ‘Buy One, Get One’, to ‘Buy One, GIFT One’! Every time a business purchases The Rooted Team: Employee Wellness Program, a matching number of teachers will get access to The Rooted School: Employee Wellness Program. It’s automatic. There’s no catch and no cost.
Businesses can choose to make a financial contribution of any amount that will go towards programming for one of the schools on our waitlist. This contribution may be combined with the contributions of other businesses to make a greater impact. If you already have a school partner or a school in mind, we may be able to make a one-on-one match! Businesses may also be able to choose a district, town, city or state. Inquire for more details.
If you're a business owner, let's work together to take care of your teachers and school staff during this time. If you have a partner school or a specific school in mind, we’ll connect the dots for you.
If you’re a principal or administrator, and you want to be added to the list of waiting schools, let’s work together to get your school employees on the path to better stress management. If you have a business partner, we’d be happy to reach out to them on your behalf and share the perks of being a sponsor.
We need to lift each other up.
If we lift the teachers, they lift the leaders of tomorrow. If we lift business staff, they lift their families and their productivity and commitment to themselves, those around them and their work. We are committed to helping create the change we need to see in the world when it comes to managing stress.
What some people have said of our program:
Program, descriptions, goals and outcomes are so clear and well-articulated. - Melissa
Personally, it was what I needed as in “all of this”, I needed to be reminded to be grateful and to take some time for self-care. Professionally, I truly enjoyed all the modules and felt they were relevant, easy to use and very uplifting. - Stacy
Super interesting and useful right now! You did a great job breaking each module into realistic bite-size sections. - Heather
Let’s do this - together!
