Embrace Your School

Embrace  Your School with Heartspeak

Improving School Climate Together

Embrace Your School is a multi-faceted school-community engagement program to support school improvement. 

Our Embrace Your School program helps principals, teachers and students who want to improve school climate/culture by reducing isolation and disengagement and increasing inclusion, positive relationships, well-being and productivity. 

Increase Awareness of Social Issues with Heartspeak

Focus on a range of topics of your choice that include:
  • Mental Health/Healthy Relationships
  • Indigenous Issues and Reconciliation 
  • Gender Issues/Transgender
  • Homelessness/Poverty
  • Differing Abilities/Disabilities
  • Racism
Interacting with Heartspeak stories and digital resources, students, teachers, or parent groups identify strategies and ways to make school life better—[optional: culminating their efforts by inviting members of the school community to literally embrace it—forming a human circle around it]. To date, over 7,500 students in JK to Grade 12 have participated in Canada and South Africa. Use the Heartspeak videos to focus your theme for improvement.

Inquire about a workshop. Contact info@heartspeak.ca to discuss your interests and possible needs.
