Overview
Practical ways to support educator mental health and well-being
In The Mind-Body Connection for Educators: Intentional Movement for Wellness, Kathryn Kennedy, founder and executive director of Wellness for Educators, delivers a research-based, practical approach to supporting educators with trauma- and equity-informed somatic strategies for mental health and wellbeing. The book explains how our minds and our bodies are intricately connected, and, consequently, both are highly affected by trauma and prolonged stress. As research shows, when this residual pain is not healed, new learning cannot take place. To support educators’ healing and learning processes, the book provides an overview of several mind-body disciplines, including yoga, mindfulness, meditation, Qigong, and breathwork. In addition to overviews of each discipline, Kathryn shares what the research says and provides engaging practices for educators.
Readers will also find:
- Identification of system-level contributing factors that bolster educator well-being, including supportive administration, social emotional learning programs, mentoring programs, points of connection, sense of belonging, and workplace wellness programs
- Acknowledgement of systemic issues that can serve as barriers of educators’ healing processes, especially those who identify as people of color, people of culture, and/or LGBTQIA2SI+
- Strategies to empower educators to address and work with their own trauma and negative emotions
- Ways for educators to understand and heal secondary traumatic stress
