School staff AND students are struggling to cope with limited mental health skills

That’s where Live Big Community comes in!

We offer engaging professional development programs & a research-based no-prep mental health curriculum designed for school counselors, mental health staff & educators to support students in grades 4-12

Here’s how it works:

Support Staff Wellbeing with Engaging Workshops

We partner with districts to design transformational professional development programs that empower your staff to grow…and increase their capacity to support students.

On-Demand Professional Development & Mental Health Curriculum

Our Guide Membership supports your staff with on-demand professional development, collaborative community & a no-prep mental health curriculum – everything they need to learn, apply & deliver Live Big programs to groups of students.

Build Staff & Student Skills While Creating a Culture of Connection

Your staff delivers Live Big programs to groups of students, expanding their reach & fostering connection, belonging & inclusion. Using a shared language & common concepts creates stickiness over time.

“Live Big has provided me with understandable, foundational concepts, and the confidence and direction to implement them. Facilitating Live Big with my students has allowed me to immerse myself in a culture that encourages me to show up as my most authentic self while being an example to students to do the same.”

What students say after participating in a Live Big Community program:

I wish the next workshop were tomorrow.

Do more workshops. They help a lot.

I love this workshop it makes me happy in myself and my body.

I loved doing yoga and getting grounded.

I will use techniques like the Edges of My Body to calm down.

I can prevent being anxious by breathing and not tensing up.

I learned that I'm not alone.

This was very comforting and I loved it.

I have to think positively. I am powerful.

It's OK to be outgoing and to have time for yourself.

I can get out of my comfort "bubble".

It's my choice and it's not my business about others.

I’ll be kinder to myself and actually allow myself to relax.

I learned to tell the Voice of Small that I can handle it on my own.

Confidence isn’t what people think of you, it’s what you think of yourself.

I learned how to take time for myself and take more control over my Voice of Small and Limiting Beliefs.
