MCF For The Whole School
.png)
MCF delivers science-based mental wellness programs and tools that help educators, students, and families build clarity, emotional regulation, and resilience. Grounded in neuroscience, physiology, and psychology, our approach supports school communities in learning to respond rather than react to the daily challenges of education and life. These tools are designed to teach not only what to do and how to do it, but also why it works, offering a deeper understanding of the brain and body’s role in mental and emotional health.
Through live trainings, certifications, educator coaching, and direct instruction, MCF equips school staff with practical, evidence-based strategies that integrate into classrooms, gyms, and daily school routines. Supplemental resources such as structured scripts, planners, toolkits, and recorded materials help reinforce consistent practice and ensure successful implementation across all grade levels and roles.
From professional development workshops and on-site coaching to student wellness sessions and parent classes, MCF’s whole-community model strengthens attention, emotional safety, and wellbeing throughout the school and home. This comprehensive approach improves relationships, fosters healthier choices, and creates the foundation for sustainable mental wellness at every level of the educational experience.

Certification for Schools
The Science-Based Mental Wellness Certification for Schools equips educators including teachers, school counselors, coaches, and administrators with practical, evidence-based tools to support emotional regulation, stress reduction, and overall mental wellbeing in educational settings. The program combines 10 hours of expert-led livestreamed instruction with 7 hours of pre-recorded content and is grounded in neuroscience, physiology, and psychology. Participants receive trauma-informed training, interactive teaching opportunities, and personalized feedback to help them implement strategies that improve focus, behavior, and classroom management.
The impact of certification goes beyond individual wellbeing to influence school climate and culture. Participants learn to embed wellness practices into daily routines, creating environments where students are more focused, emotionally aware, and ready to learn. Teachers build stronger classroom culture and regulation skills, counselors apply wellness tools in mental health support, coaches foster resilience and team cohesion, and administrators strengthen leadership through a science-based lens. Graduates leave with proven tools to support mental wellness across the entire school community.
