School districts are facing challenges that can seem insurmountable when it comes to supporting the mental wellness of staff and students. In addition to the challenges of the last few years, education itself has one of the highest burnout rates across all professions. In response to this critical need, self-care models are being promoted with the best intentions, however, self-care alone is not sustaining. While this is an important step in the right direction, without effective organizational care structures to support self-care models, they fall short. In this session, participants will walk away with a greater understanding of the foundations for organizational care through the lens of neuroscience. Additionally, practical first steps and tools will be provided to begin implementing effective, systemwide organizational care that addresses the limitations of traditional approaches.
