Well-being is a holistic state of vitality and balance. An inner alignment where physical health, emotional safety, self-worth, and a sense of belonging coexist.

Eliasson’s massive artificial sun filled the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall with warm light and mist, prompting visitors to lay down, rest, and gather communally. It illustrates well-being as both an internal sensation of warmth and peace, and an external environment that nourishes connection.

Safeguarding Potential: A mesh sac carries fragile marble eggs... teachers protect delicate, emerging student identities with trauma-informed care.

Networks of Support: Spiders mend intricate webs... educators stitch together safety nets connecting students to peers, families, and counsellors.

Presence with Autonomy: An open structure allows free movement... teachers provide a steady, grounding presence while giving students room to grow and build resilience.
