MARCH 2025

Happy Spring, from Teach for Wellness! 

From the clocks, to the weather, to the energy in your classroom, spring is a time full of change! Check out this month’s resources to help you leverage the renewed energy of the season, and to bring wellness to the forefront in your schools. 

Mental Health Month 2025 Planning Guide

  • May will be here before you know it, and it’s not too early to start planning Mental Health Month initiatives for your school or classroom. Click here to download the Mental Health Month 2025 Planning Guide from Mental Health America to find outreach ideas, templates, activities, and partnership opportunities!


What if SEL were about making the world a better place?

  • In a world with so much polarization, we can use SEL to teach students about the greater good, and not just the individual self. Check out this article from Greater Good Magazine to learn more about the research, and see how your SEL instruction can support collective wellbeing. 

Apply Now: School Wellbeing Grant Opportunity

Are you working on mental health, belonging, or social-emotional learning? GiveThx is sharing a nationwide opportunity to scale its research-validated approach to support student and staff mental health and SEL. They're opening up a brief application process for 100 school/district spots for the 2025-2026 school year.


Recipients will receive GiveThx’s School Wellbeing Program for students and staff, fully grant-funded. 

This is an opportunity for each selected school to dramatically strengthen school community, mental health, and belonging. Click this 1-pager to learn more, and/or here to access the 5 minute application. 

The application deadline is June 30, and acceptances will be on a rolling basis until resources are exhausted. 

Spring can be a time of energy, excitement, and optimism. It can also, however, be hard to maintain the momentum built earlier in the year as students and teachers grow fatigued, pressure builds, and everyone starts to anticipate the end of the school year.  

Looking for tips to keep you and your students motivated? Try these! 

- Prioritize Movement
- Focus on small, daily objectives
- Avoid mental inertia
- Talk about and celebrate success
