CHALLENGE SUCCESS FOR (AND BY)
Students
Student voice & agency is key to increasing well-being, deepening engagement, enhancing and belonging.
ELEVATE STUDENT VOICE IN YOUR SCHOOL
Is it possible to be a “well-balanced” student?
Students today are under more pressure than ever to be “successful” – but with that expectation comes immense stress that can lead to:
- Sleep deprivation
- Homework + extracurricular overload
- Mental health issues
- Burnout
- Disengagement with learning
- Fear of failure
- Lack of “PDF“ (Playtime, Downtime, and Family Time)
- Missing a sense of belonging and authentic social connections
- Cheating to “keep up” academically
“I thought stress was normal in high school, and it is, but not to the point where I can’t breathe at night.”
STUDENT
Do you feel like you have to choose between “doing well” and “being well”?
Many students wonder how they can find more time for things like sleep and downtime, without jeopardizing grades and future college and career options.
DEFINE SUCCESS ON YOUR OWN TERMS
It’s time to prioritize well-being, engagement, and belonging in our schools so that students can thrive in school and beyond
When you think about how your family would define “success” in adulthood, what would you list? The adults in your world want you to be happy, healthy, and fulfilled. Help us transform the student experience into one where all students enjoy well-being, engagement, and belonging. Learn more below.
