All school employees should have access to resources that help boost resilience and mental well-being.
Through our wellness match initiative, we are committed to donating employee wellness programming to schools around the world. Our business partners make this initiative possible through ‘buy-one-gift-one’ wellness matches and donations, impacting both staff and students.
WHY TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF?
Because teacher stress affects student outcomes. When teachers are highly stressed, students show lower levels of social adjustment and academic performance. The amount of stress our teachers and school employees are facing is considerable, and it isn’t just a problem; it’s an epidemic that is costing our educators, kids, schools and communities.
HOW WE HELP:
We give school employees tools and skill-strengthening exercises to combat stress overload and increase self-care, confidence, resilience and overall satisfaction with their role and lives. Most importantly, we teach school employees how their brains work, because when you know how your brain works, you can use it to your advantage when it comes to dealing with stress and everyday obstacles. Our brain-based, habit changing, self-awareness, self-care program creates lasting change.
BUSINESS PARTNERS ARE KEY
We’re committed to donating employee wellness programming to schools around the world. Our business partners make this possible. There are two ways to get involved:
We’ve changed the traditional ‘Buy One, Get One’, to ‘Buy One, GIFT One’! Every time a business purchases The Rooted Team: Employee Wellness Program, a matching number of teachers will get access to The Rooted School: Employee Wellness Program. It’s automatic. There’s no catch and no cost.
Businesses can choose to make a financial contribution of any amount that will go towards programming for one of the schools on our waitlist. This contribution may be combined with the contributions of other businesses to make a greater impact. If you already have a school partner or a school in mind, we may be able to make a one-on-one match! Businesses may also be able to choose a district, town, city or state. Inquire for more details.
LET’S GET STARTED
Whether you are a business looking to learn about The Rooted Team: Employee Wellness Programming or you would like to fund a particular school or you are a school that would like to learn more about receiving programming through our Wellness Match Initiative, please reach out and let’s start the conversation. We celebrate our partner businesses and schools and can’t wait to chat with you!
FROM ONE OF OUR PARTNERS:
“I chose to support teachers and school staff because children are the future of our communities. I like to thank teachers and school staff similar to how I thank the military for their service! We have to take care of those who are leading schools. The more we can invest in their well-being, the better. I want to strengthen and empower them to be able to give their all to our communities kiddos! I love and appreciate The Rooted Family and what they are doing. The way they are “mindfully boosting brains” is remarkable and lifelong impacts are being created!”

FROM ONE OF OUR SCHOOL STAFF MEMBERS:
“I credit this program with helping me and our family during the first few months of Covid with having a husband who was now working at home full time, two sons who were figuring out how to do school virtually and myself trying to figure out how to best support our Westside school, students and their families, while also keeping some peace and harmony for our family now that we were all under one roof, every day, every hour, every minute! This program allowed me to focus on what was really important in life and truly helped me reduce my anxiety of what was happening in the world and in our own home as we figured out our new normal!”
