The ‘Depths of Comfort’ platform was built around the question of - “How do we help to improve the school experience for students and teachers?” Each day, our team is working on developing tools that support student wellness, so that children are coming to school feeling socially connected and emotionally safe. We are passionate about helping students to build their personal and social connections, and in contributing to an increased sense of belonging. Our team is listening to the needs of teachers, and developing new tools, so that ‘Depths of Comfort’ can create enhanced social and emotional wellness within your school.
By promoting and celebrating kindness and empathy, we are helping to combat ongoing mean behaviour and bullying. Incorporating positive psychology tools into the platform is helping to impact and improve student mood and classroom cultures.
By providing teachers with a platform that is easy to use, requires very little prep time and produces instant benefits to the classroom community, we’re giving teachers the confidence to teach and celebrate SEL on a consistent basis.
By providing students with proactive tools that grow self-awareness, social connections and distress tolerance, we are helping students to build their capacity and confidence for navigating future adversity.
Providing students with proactive challenges for developing kindness, empathy and inclusion allows many other students and staff, within the school community, to benefit from experiencing these acts of goodwill.
