Your Heart Beats

Introducing 'Your Heart Beats!': A Program for Enhancing Mental Health in Adult Education

We are pleased to announce the launch of 'Your Heart Beats!', a targeted initiative aimed at supporting the mental health and resilience of adult educators and their learners. This program is specifically designed to address the challenges faced by educators at risk of burnout and considering leaving their profession, as well as adult learners from disadvantaged backgrounds, including the unemployed, older adults, and individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The cornerstone of 'Your Heart Beats!' consists of two intensive 7-day residential learning activities. These sessions are structured to provide immersive and supportive experiences, fostering personal growth, skill development, and community building and exchange of best practices among participants.

In addition to the residential programs, 'Your Heart Beats!' offers a comprehensive online learning course. This platform provides ongoing education, mentoring, and support, ensuring that participants have access to valuable resources and guidance beyond the in-person sessions.

A key aspect of this project is the dissemination of knowledge and experiences gained during the program. By sharing insights and strategies, we aim to extend the impact of 'Your Heart Beats!' to a broader community, enhancing the overall well-being and resilience of both educators and learners.

Our ultimate goal is to strengthen the ability of helping professionals and their learners to effectively integrate and thrive in their work environments. Through 'Your Heart Beats!', we are committed to improving the resilience and well-being of participants, empowering them to make a positive and lasting impact in their professional and personal lives.

We invite you to join us in this important endeavor, as we work together to support the mental health and development of adult educators and learners.
