“I can focus on other areas of the curriculum as I feel I have the social-emotional part down!”

Why Today's Classrooms Need SEL More Than Ever

In the last decade, classrooms have changed.

Student needs have evolved, and the world has changed dramatically. Yet, the challenges keep piling up, leaving teachers like you with less time to address them.

Teachers face overwhelming demands, often working longer hours with little work-life balance.

Students struggle to engage, as behaviour challenges rise and anxiety levels increase.

Self-regulation is difficult for many students, leading to disruptions and limited focus.

Academic expectations are more stringent than ever.

Meanwhile, research-backed SEL resources that actually work in the real-life classroom are hard to find.

All of this can lead to overwhelm and burnout.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Breathe Grow Thrive was developed to help you meet these challenges with confidence. Our goal is to help you cultivate a nurturing environment where emotional and mental health are central, empowering both students and teachers to reach their full potential.

After all, students can’t learn until they’re ready to learn... and you can’t teach your best when you’re running on empty.

So why push academics when minds aren’t in the right space?

Instead, let’s take a proactive approach to achieve your well-being and academic goals.

Imagine co-regulating with your students to create a calm and focused learning environment.

Just five minutes a day with Breathe Grow Thrive can save you hours of teaching time by equipping you and your K-12 students with self-regulation tools and a common language to return to calm and focus quickly.

That means fewer classroom management issues, easier transitions, and more time spent on learning.

SAVE TIME NOW

"We invested in this time and got it back tenfold."

— Brandi, Grade 2 Teacher

"I have noticed a big difference in not only my students' focus, but their ability to absorb what I am teaching and internalise it more. They share more and their minds are calmer."

— Erith, grade 6 teacher

"By consistently practicing mindfulness in class through the use of the Educalm program, my students have become more aware of their peers and have begun to treat each other better. I think it has also helped me to develop more positive relationships with my students."

— Katie, high school teacher

"By using the Educalm program, my teaching has changed and evolved because this program teaches mindfulness as a preventative tool, not a reactive problem-solving step."

— Jevian, phys ed and behaviour support teacher

"Thank you for everything you’re creating! My daughter and I have been meditating together in the mornings using your resources, and she absolutely loves it—especially the five-finger breathing! Even my little guy, who’s only 3, joins in, tracing his fingers along with us. It’s the sweetest moment of connection before the school day, and it makes my heart so happy to see them calm and focused. The program has given us a special way to support Emily as she navigates her school anxiety, and we’re so grateful for these tools to help her cope."
