It is with great gratitude that I am sharing this guest blog from our friends at Headspace. They have been so kind to share their passion and resources to support our mission in this Mental Wellness Hub.
At Headspace, we understand that mental health is a top priority in education right now, especially when it comes to supporting students (see our free resource Headspace for Teens). You and your peers emphasized this in the recent Current Issues Facing Education survey. As fellow educators and users of Canvas LMS and Catalog, we share your commitment to ensuring the well-being of both staff and students. That's why we're excited to connect with you through the Mental Wellness Hub—to raise awareness about the resources we offer, like the free Headspace for Educators, and to share one of our recorded sessions as a special professional learning gift for you.
Our Gift to you.
