In this episode, I’m joined by Tim Dohrer and Tom Golebiewski for a powerful conversation about something that matters deeply in education today: mental health. Tim and Tom—who co-authored The Schools We Need Now—share their insights on how schools can create environments where everyone, students and educators alike, feel safe, supported, and connected.
We talk about the importance of trust in relationships, and why we can’t separate learning from well-being. Academic success doesn’t happen in isolation—it’s tied to the emotional, social, and even physical well-being of our students. That’s why we explore practical, proactive strategies to support mental health, including building strong community partnerships and weaving mindfulness into the fabric of school life.
This isn’t just about reacting to challenges—it’s about reimagining schools as places where humans flourish. If we want thriving classrooms, we have to prioritize mental health as a foundational part of learning.
