Who is this for?
You’ve completed the Essential P.A.U.S.E. for Educators and you realized the transformative power of P.A.U.S.E. in your own life. You are naturally an ambassador, applying P.A.U.S.E implicitly and maybe even explicitly in your day, in your role.
And, you wish to offer more. You see the great need in your community amongst students and adults alike. You want to dive into your own study and practice of P.A.U.S.E. as a holistic framework for community well-being. You want to discover how you can serve as Champion Self-Leadership in your role- in the subtleties of daily relationships, in the curricular approach to well-being for students, in the structures of school life. Whether you are educators, administrators, school mental health practitioners, or community leader, you are ready to join us for the Champions journey.
