Hear from participants of Educating for Wellbeing!
By Daniela Labra | General Director, AtentaMente
We would like to send out a heartfelt thank you for your support for Educating for Wellbeing. Our program is built on evidence-based strategies for cultivating inner wellbeing in educators and their students. We believe that by giving educators the tools to manage emotional regulation, foster prosocial skills and excel at relationship building and leadership, then we are equipping them to be exceptional role models for their students. Following the training, educators are ready to implement our curriculum that is designed to build their students’ social emotional competencies.
In previous reports, we have shared the number of students and educators that have been reached by our programming. Today, we would like to give you an opportunity to hear from some of the educators who have completed their training as they share their experiences and feedback with us.
We are profoundly grateful for your generous contributions, and are excited about the future of education in Mexico. Thank you for being a part of our efforts in providing children with the skills and tools they will need to thrive in the face of adversity and become powerful, compassionate leaders in the future.

Breaking down walls to wellbeing
By Amanda Sheehan | Communications
Greetings to our valued donors and supporters! We have some great news that we are excited to share with you. Our efforts to develop social and emotional competencies in school children and teachers have now reached over 15,000 educators to make a positive impact for 450,000 students ranging from pre-school to high school across 14 different states. This includes a customized version of the curriculum that has been adapted to serve over 1200 preschool educators and 25,000 children of the indigenous populations in the Yucatan Peninsula, as well as reach other vulnerable and underprivileged populations.
In this reporte, we are thrilled to share a video of our Director, Daniela Labra Cardero, sharing how this program is breaking down walls and moving education forward. You can check it out in the link below:

Your generous contribution is making history!
By Daniela Labra | General Director, AtentaMente
Measuring, understanding and managing the impact of Educating for Wellbeing is a high priority at Atentamente. Our efforts in providing a strengths-based approach to developing young students’ emotional intelligence, resiliency and pro-social skills are being evaluated as part of the largest impact evaluation in the world for a professional training program in social-emotional education. This study is being done in collaboration with the Center for Healthy Minds of the University of Wisconsin and the Secretary of Public Education and Culture of the State of Sinaloa. We are looking forward to sharing some preliminary results with our donors as the program progresses!
To give you a better idea of the scope of the program, the initiative began in 2020 with the training of 180 education professionals from the Ministry of Public Education. Now more than 9,200 directors and preschool teachers from the states of Coahuila, Sinaloa, Yucatán, Campeche and Quintana Roo have completed the program. These educators will go on to facilitate social emotional learning to over 50,000 girls and boys in public schools.
Thank you for being a part of making a significant impact in the formative years of the lives of young learners across Mexico! We are excited that you have joined us on this journey, and we look forward to giving you updates and stories as the program progresses. Please feel free to share our story with your friends and family, and we look forward to sharing more about the results of this amazing program in our next report!
