We are The Relationship Foundation. For 14 years we have been supporting teachers and administrators to create safer and more productive environments in their schools. In training sessions, we introduce empathic listening, collaborative communication, and the neuroscience that helps educators develop an understanding and sensitivity to the importance of children's mental health.
Building resilience in the face of a public health crisis, we served over 500 schools with remote training sessions in our Healthy Relationships Program. Though school budgets were frozen, we were compelled to continue. There are dozens of schools in impoverished districts that would like our training sessions and curriculum but do not have the funds for the essential life skills our work provides. Your contribution will us to help serve these schools in effort to and in doing so you will support children's mental health.
