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.

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.”
