Well-Being Spaces for Teachers and Staff
A well-being space (or wellness space, zen den -whatever you choose to call it) provides an area to relax and recharge during the school day. These areas can foster environments that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. They can also be a great place to promote staff connection and collaboration. A warm, welcoming well-being space is one way to show hardworking school staff and teachers they’re valued and appreciated, which decreases staff stress, boosts morale, and increases job satisfaction. Healthy and fulfilled school staff can perform at their best, model emotional regulation for students, and have fewer sick days.

The design of the WellSteps wellness solution was based on this body of evidence
