Education

The stability of a school depends on the stability of the adults inside it.

Schools are being asked to do more than teach. Educators are managing escalating student needs, chronic behavioral incidents, community crisis spillover, and the emotional weight of supporting children through instability. When exposure becomes constant, educator strain becomes predictable.

What leaders are seeing

Teacher attrition driving classroom instability
Substitute dependency, disrupted learning, and uneven student support
Increased behavioral escalations as staff capacity shrinks
Rising sick leave and extended absences that destabilize scheduling

Every exit creates replacement cost, training burden, and performance disruption, often repeating year after year.

Why wellness is not enough

Educator wellbeing initiatives are common. But most systems still lack a way to:

Measure emotional overload early

Current systems leave this gap open.

Reduce nervous system activation after difficult incidents

Current systems leave this gap open.

Support staff in real time without adding more work

Current systems leave this gap open.

Your people show up every day carrying more than anyone should ask.
