Healing Schools Project

Measuring Up for Every Child — By Supporting Those Who Teach Them

 

🌟 Who We Are

At Healing Schools Project, we help schools heal from the inside out—because when teachers thrive, students succeed.

We partner with schools and districts to build healing-centered, equity-driven cultures that nurture teacher well-being, leadership resilience, and student belonging.

Every child deserves a school where the adults around them feel supported, connected, and whole. That’s how we measure up.

 

📊 Why It Matters

Teachers across the nation are leaving classrooms at alarming rates due to burnout and unsupportive conditions—especially teachers of color.

When teachers suffer, students lose trusted adults, continuity, and care.

Our model addresses these root causes head-on:

  • Healing-centered practices that prioritize educator well-being
  • Community building that strengthens connection and retention
  • Leadership development to shift systems sustainably

“The healing circles have been breaths of fresh air… a safe space for us to lay down some of the heavy baggage we carry as educators.”

💡 Our Theory of Change

  1. Schools invest in educator healing and well-being
  2. Teachers feel supported and stay
  3. Supported teachers can better support students
  4. Students thrive

 

🎯 Our Impact

  • 93% of teachers felt satisfied or very satisfied with healing circles
  • 91% said more HSP work would help more teachers stay

That’s how we help schools “measure up” for every child—by creating conditions where teachers can stay, grow, and give their best.
