Supporting Educators. Strengthening Schools.
Practical wellness workshops designed to help educators reduce stress, prevent burnout, and create healthier classroom environments.
What to Expect
A 2023 survey of 1,017 educators in Ontario found that 59% of respondents had experienced a mental health challenge at some point during their career or professional training (Healthy Professional Worker Partnership, 2023).
Educators are carrying more than ever. Chronic stress, compassion fatigue, student mental health concerns, and emotional exhaustion impact both staff well-being and school culture.
These workshops offer practical, trauma-informed strategies that support educators while strengthening classroom connection and resilience.

Meet Your Facilitator
Kristina Beifuss, BEd, MDiv, RP
I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) in good standing, with 16 years of combined experience teaching in elementary and secondary classrooms, including experience as a curriculum leader. Following my work in schools, I spent four years supporting K–12 schools, leaders, and educators across Ontario in educational technology. My background in both education and mental health has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges educators face and has fueled my passion for supporting educator well-being. I offer practical, compassionate workshops designed to help educators care for themselves while continuing to care for others.
