ASEBP’S UPSTREAM APPROACH

WHY WORKPLACE WELL-BEING MATTERS

“Whether teaching students in the classroom, running the school, maintaining buildings or providing safe transport, every school employee contributes to a school’s mission. However, employees can only give their best when they are feeling their best. Supporting school employee wellness is an important way to communicate that each staff member is respected and valued.”

- National Association of Chronic Disease Directors
