Rethinking Resilience
A Leader in Resiliency Education and Resources
With mental health challenges on the rise in students and skyrocketing burnout rates in teachers, it's obvious that more support and resources are needed. At Rethinking Resilience we believe wellness education is a necessary part of achieving academic success. It's our goal to see a world where students and teachers are no longer struggling to choose between focusing on their mental well-being and their grades or careers. Instead, wellness education and resources are embedded in curriculums, positively changing how students and teachers respond to challenges at school and providing the fundamental tools they need to succeed in all areas of life.
