SCHOOL DISTRICTS
The challenge of managing mental health related issues in the school system has become overwhelming. Being trauma informed and educating the whole child are critical but we must also attend to the environment. The AIM approach helps teachers, coaches and administrators think through not only the care of their students but self-care as well.
UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC DEPARTMENTS
According to the NCAA, 1 in 4 student athletes are experiencing high levels of anxiety and even depression. The life of a student athlete comes with unique challenges that elite competition can accentuate. AIM helps athletic directors and coaches evaluate their approach toward mental health in the university culture and life of the athlete.
CORPORATIONS
CIGNA healthcare discovered in 2017 that 1 in 6 employees were taking long term leave for mental health issues. As a business owner and leader it can be difficult to decide how you will care for your team. AIM helps you consider a plan to care for your people so they thrive without compromising processes or profit.
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
NGO’s are responsible for some of the greatest work that benefits lives. But leadership and cultural issues are equally prevalent in the non-profit sector as in for-profit. How to maintain a healthy work-life balance can be a distinct issue for NGO’s because of the unique challenges they face. AIM helps non-profit leaders build a healthy culture that scales.
