Kia ora Michael Have you considered staff wellbeing in your educational setting?  The Educators’ Wellbeing Toolkit is a group development programme, enabling all members of your staff to take a proactive approach to their own health and wellbeing. Participants learn how to develop mindsets and behaviours to support themselves through challenging situations. Practical approaches assist in developing greater awareness of individual wellbeing and build strategies to support all aspects of life. The Toolkit supports participants’ learning by providing a range of online resources, including videos, professional readings and worksheets. You take ownership of your own training programme, selecting a Toolkit Leader who introduces each module to your staff. All resources are included in the toolkit, including a detailed facilitator’s guide. Key Focuses Enable opportunities to create safe, collaborative conversations. Build a sense of personal and social wellbeing within your staff. Focus on learner agency and supporting one another.  Effective, flexible and easily implemented, the Wellbeing Toolkit addresses the overwhelming need for manaakitanga in our schools, kura and early years’ centres.
