7 Ways SBCOE Simplifies K-12 Wellness

Discover the key reasons why Ohio schools trust the SBCOE for effective, scalable, long-term solutions.

Tap into support and guidance

Your K-12 workforce has been expected to navigate wellness without the training they need to successfully implement it.

SBCOE doesn’t hand you materials and walk away. Your team gets support from K-12 wellness experts every step of the way.

"Before partnering with SBCOE, our school was at a loss on how to tackle wellness challenges among our students and staff. SBCOE's training was a game-changer, turning our team into 'wellness superheroes.' They provided us with the tools and strategies to seamlessly integrate wellness into our everyday activities."

"The partnership with SBCOE has been invaluable to me as a principal, and more importantly to the students and the families of Kinder Elementary. I firmly believe we are revolutionizing the way school is done."

Get the next generation excited about wellness careers

We’re not just getting today’s K-12 leaders excited about wellness, we’re getting tomorrow’s leaders on board too.

Through outreach programs and visits to middle schools, high schools and colleges, SBCOE introduces students to the rewarding opportunities in school wellness careers and provides resources to learn more.

You may be thinking ...

“Right now student wellness is our top priority. We’ll address teachers and staff later.”

Wellness is crucial for K-12 teachers and staff as it directly impacts their ability to effectively support and educate students.

When teachers and staff are well-supported and prioritize their own wellness, they are better equipped to create a positive and nurturing environment that promotes student well-being and academic success.

“Our school doesn’t have the budget for a full time BHWC”

We recommend a full-time BHWC to yield better outcomes and support teachers and staff long-term.

But we’ll collaborate with your school to find a solution that aligns with your resources. This could involve leveraging existing staff such as counselors or social workers, or dividing the BHWC’s duties among multiple team members.

“We have apps and online resources available for teacher and staff wellness.”

Traditional resources are certainly helpful, but they often don’t address the big picture.

By engaging teachers and staff in 1:1 relationships, we can create comprehensive solutions that address the specific nature of your school and community.
