Wellbeing for All Program
Creating Safe, Thriving
School Communities
Wellbeing is central to every student’s success and every educator’s sustainability. AISA’s Wellbeing for All program supports schools in cultivating inclusive, safe, and nurturing environments where students and staff can thrive—personally, socially, and academically.
The growing prevalence and severity of mental health difficulties experienced by both educators and students in our international schools is an issue of significant concern for AISA. AISA is increasingly aware of the need to mitigate and redress the high levels of psychological distress experienced by substantial numbers in our community.
AISA’s Wellbeing for All program is designed to help educators, school leaders and co-professionals develop teaching and learning environments and practices that better support student mental health and well-being.
The program advocates for a system level approach to wellbeing. It also addresses educator well-being by encouraging educators, school leaders and co-professionals to develop a greater awareness of and ability to manage stress and promote their own well-being. Wellbeing for All is AISA’s umbrella program for everything we do to advance the felt sense of safety, wellbeing, and belonging in school communities.
