The Educators Training is an intensive program designed to equip all school personnel—including teachers, administrators, school counselors, dormitory staff, and teaching assistants—with practical, evidence-based tools to address mental health and substance use challenges.
This initiative transforms educators into effective first responders within the school environment.

Program Focus

• We address the expressed need among educators for skills and confidence in managing student mental health issues.
• The training introduces targeted school-based interventions, such as the
  MOOD Classroom model, a structured mental wellness program designed for primary and secondary students.

Educators Are Empowered To:

• Recognize early warning signs of mental health and substance use issues for timely intervention.
• Reduce stigma and actively create safe, supportive school environments.
• Implement compassionate, effective interventions to support overall student well-being.

We are committed to making this program available across the region. Due to the cross-cutting nature of these challenges among students,
we are actively planning to expand this vital program to schools in Zambia and Kenya.
