SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

BeWell in School Program BeWell in School teaches mindfulness and movement as a proactive behavior management system. The BeWell Program works with school communities through partnerships, community classes, student clubs, professional learning sessions, and consultations to offer a comprehensive approach to promoting mental health and wellness in schools. Since starting our 5-year Pilot Program with Warner Arts Magnet Elementary in the 2019-2020 school year, we expanded to 3 schools in Nashville, Tennessee and 5 schools in Lexington, Kentucky. Each school has training for a full-time BeWell Teacher and Ambassador Team, who set up the BeWell Room, a dedicated safe space for students and teachers to engage in movement, mindfulness, and breathing techniques. BeWell Teachers lead professional development for staff and support students individually and in whole group classes. Our framework helps schools develop an alternative approach to traditional discipline by teaching effective strategies for self-regulation.
