One Chapter at a Time, a Book Club for Educators!

 As you support your staff in prioritizing their wellness, consider joining our Onward Book Club. Onward: Cultivating Emotional Resilience in Educators by Elena Aguilar is a powerful resource that helps educators find their power within and to realize their strength and achieve their aspirations, despite challenges.


Our sessions are held monthly for 1.5 hours. We are looking to set up a book club of about 10 people. Once we have enough interest, we will determine dates/times.
