At school we grow, learn, and dream. But for all this to truly happen, a solid foundation is needed: wellbeing. For teachers, this means having the right tools to cope with everyday challenges, restore balance, and turn difficulties into opportunities. For children and young people, it means feeling heard, understood, and part of a community that supports them and helps them discover their worth.
A school where people feel good is a school that works—where energy flows between adults and pupils, and everyone grows together.
Discover Erickson’s resources dedicated to promoting wellbeing in schools.

Feeling good at school
Resilience programs for calm and aware teachers
MARIELLA BOMBARDIERI, CARLA SIMONI
The well-being of teachers and educators at school is often compromised by complex situations: a problematic child to manage in the classroom, the embarrassment of having to communicate a pupil’s difficulties to the family, the difficult communication with the class or with other colleagues, a draining relationship with the principal, or the desire to abandon teaching. Feeling good at school offers a resilience program, created with the stories and testimonies of teachers and educators who experience the school environment firsthand.
