New Year, New Habits: ThriveWay Encourages Focus on Mental Health and Well-Being in 2026

As the new year begins, ThriveWay is calling on schools, students, and communities to prioritize healthy habits that support individual well-being. While many New Year's resolutions focus on physical health, ThriveWay emphasizes that mental health is just as important-and lasting change often starts with small, intentional steps.

The District Leader Roundtable Session is an exciting new opportunity for district leaders to come together, connect, and collaborate around the Peer Helpers PLUS Program. These interactive sessions spark meaningful conversations, fresh ideas, and shared solutions as leaders exchange best practices and learn from one another’s experiences. By creating a space for collaboration, the roundtable energizes program growth and strengthens its impact across districts. We can not wait for the Spring sessions and the lasting partnerships they will help cultivate.
