Protecting Rural Children's Mental Health in China

Thanks to your generosity, 48 top-performing rural teachers from 14 provinces across China recently gathered in Suzhou for a 5-day intensive Mental Health & Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) training camp—overcoming travel disruptions caused by Typhoon Bavi!

Selected from hundreds of educators for their exceptional dedication to teaching SEL courses throughout the year, these teachers were awarded this advanced training opportunity to further deepen their skills.

Here is how your support created real impact during this training camp:

Key Growth & Impact

1. Overcoming Teacher Burnout: Through self-compassion workshops, teachers learned self-regulation techniques. As we believe: "To nourish children, educators must first care for their own hearts."
2. From Theory to Classroom: Teachers stepped into their students' shoes through live simulations and activity co-creation, refining lesson plans to better fit rural children's real needs.
3. Building a Psychological Safety Net: Teachers practiced crisis intervention skills using "Four-Color Crisis Signals," learning to stay calm and support children during emotional emergencies.

Teacher's Voice

"This camp refreshed my mindset while giving me practical SEL tools. I now know exactly how to bring these lessons back to my classroom!"
— Teacher Shao & Teacher Liu
