Helping Educators Support Student Mental Health Without Burning Out
Education is in crisis. Student needs are rising, and educators are over-worked and overwhelmed. At Thriving Students, we provide on-demand tools, training, and AI support to help educators do their best work—without burning out.
- Professional development is often irrelevant, outdated, and too time-consuming.
- Educator burnout is skyrocketing, especially among school psychologists and student support teams.
- Students with learning differences and mental health needs are going under-supported due to lack of time and resources.
- Schools react too late—only stepping in when problems escalate.
HERE’S THE PROBLEM…
Kids' Needs Are Up, Educator Bandwidth is Down.
Educators are drowning in demands—burnout is at an all-time high, and student mental health needs are more complex than ever.
Traditional professional development often fails to meet the moment: one-size-fits-all trainings, out-of-touch content, and no real support for implementation.
Worse, the current system focuses on student interventions after problems escalate—by then, both staff and students are overwhelmed.
“When educators burn out, everyone loses. Burnout doesn’t just affect adults. It ripples out—reducing the quality of support students receive and increasing staff turnover. We believe the solution starts upstream, empowering educators before crisis hits, using a Tier Zero Framework.”

Thriving Students is the only PD platform built on the Tier Zero Framework
The Tier Zero Framework is our proprietary model for organizational wellbeing that supports educators before student-facing interventions begin.

“I’m so grateful to have come across your platform. It is equipping me with such a wealth of understanding in dealing with the students in my life! I initially thought of the 5-to-Thrive videos as just extra resources, but I’ve found them to be absolute treasures and essential learning.”
— Alicia K., Teacher, Australia
“Thriving Students has helped me immensely. I was on the serious burnout track after 20 years of being a school psych. After taking the Thriving School Psychologist Course I feel better prepared to take on what was once overwhelming. It’s not a selfish act—it’s what helps me keep giving.”
— Kathleen T., School Psychologist
