Imagine an entire school – students, teachers, and administrators – taking time each morning to turn inward together, and listen to a brief mindfulness prompt and world-class music.
The Well's programs combine best practices in arts and wellness and are designed in partnership with those they serve.
We love collaborating with local, national and international community partners and peoples in a variety of arts programming and mindfulness practices.
We are a small yet mighty team, dedicated to making a big difference with what we have. Your support means the world to us.
Schools
Evidence-Based Practices: Our integration of mindfulness and movement is based on scientific research finding that arts and mind-body practices support brain development and neurophysiological regulation, countering effects of chronic stress and trauma.
Holistic Observation: We provide observational assessments when our programs run for at least 12 weeks. This time allows our facilitators to build relationships with students, and understand their individual needs.
Assessments such as the DESSA-Mini and 100 Million Lives Survey are used to track behavioral observations throughout our time with students and objectively measure well being and program effectiveness at both the start and end of our work with students.
Evaluation: Our data-driven approach ensures students are meeting specific SEL competencies, and bridges the support gap when students need extra help.
When a student's DESSA score falls in the “need” range, we create an Individual Regulation Plan (IRP) to help them identify personal tools for managing behavior. These sessions focus on empowering the student to choose what works for them, and honors their progress by naming the ways in which they showed up as their best self.
