Preschool teacher participants
Thanks to your generous continued support of Atentamente's Educating for Wellbeing program, 650 preschool teachers, principals and other educational figures in Sinaloa have benefitted from 120 hours of professional development to bring balance and mental wellness to educators, administrators, parents and preschoolers. Atentamente strives to make its program accessible to a diverse range of learning environments and learning needs. Educators from indigenous, special needs and migrant schools across the State of Sinaloa are engaging in this year’s cohort, and in 2025 will be joining participants from the previous cohorts to continue their learning together in the Leadership course, which aims to build strategies and community for integrating wellbeing into the whole school and administrative system.
We thank you for your support and encouragement in our efforts to ensure all children have the opportunity to thrive at school as they learn how to build inner resilience and navigate adversity in our increasingly complex world.

Update from AtentaMente!
By Daniela Labra | General Director, AtentaMente
In 2024 GlobalGiving has enabled a new cohort of educators to particpate in the Educating for Wellbeing program in the state of Sinaloa. As requested by the Ministry of Education of Sinaloa, this years cohort included not only preschool, but also childcare educators for ages 0-3years old, as well as teachers and principals in special needs education, indigenous, communitary and migrant schools providing educational services to vulnerable populations in the state. Over 1,100 teachers, principals and educational authorities at different levels within the structure are enrolled in the course. This year's cohort began in late february and will conclude in July.
Thanks to your continued support and that of our other institutional donors and allies, a core group of high-performing participants will be invited to the Educating for Wellbeing's Professional Development Program and the Social and Emotional Leadership Course scheduled to begin in Sept of this year. Stay tuned for our next update!

Educating for Wellbeing in 2024
By Daniela Labra | General Director, AtentaMente
We are thrilled to share with you our plans for contributing to a prosperous 2024 by supporting the wellbeing of teachers and their students. At the end of last year, we completed one of the world’s largest randomized control trials (RCT) measuring the effectiveness of our program on teacher wellbeing. The study was conducted with 421 preschools in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, which included 2,162 educators. The findings show improvements in educator well-being and significant positive changes in their students’ social and emotional competencies. These results suggest that the Educating for Wellbeing program serves as a useful tool for enhancing the well-being of educators and students, and the study serves to contribute to the broader educational psychology literature and potentially provide some insights for policy and practice in early childhood education, especially within a Mexican context.
Thanks to your generous support, we are expanding our work to support even more teachers and preschool children across Sinaloa. We look forward to continuing to share our journey with you, and would love for you to share our story with others as well! You can do this by sharing the link below with friends, colleagues and family. We greatly appreciate your kind and thoughtful support, and wish you a meaningful and joyful 2024!
