We care for the souls in systems of care through healing and preventing burnout and compassion fatigue.

Thank you for visiting presentteacher.com!

The work of serving and caring for those who care for and serve others is expanding! What started as in-person and online/on-demand curriculum dedicated to healing and preventing burnout and compassion fatigue in our educational caregivers has grown tremendously. 

​

The Present Teacher Restoration Project has evolved into The Light You Cast curriculum. Through my concentrated work with educators over the past 7 years, I discovered that burnout and compassion fatigue do not discriminate by calling.

​​​

ALL of us who are called to relationship-based, caring professions deserve and need to have professional development that cares for the mind, the body, and the soul of the caregiver.

 

Visit www.drjenclifden to learn more about how we can support you or your staff of caregivers with strategic and sustained social, emotional, and relational health support to heal from and prevent burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral injury -- all states of being that dim our light and diminish our impact. 

*This Present Teacher website will phase out at the end of 2024. All content and course offerings listed here are still being offered; they are all just expanded and updated to include the most current research and practices on preventing and restoring the soul of the caregiver from the protective states of burnout.

The Present Teacher Restoration ProjectTM 

is an experiential and evidence-based self-paced professional development training designed to help those who serve in education to heal from soul sickness (burnout, compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and moral injury) while engaging a practical path of preventative practices that breathe life and and hope back in to one's calling to be of service in schools.

 

This adult social and emotional learning (SEL) curriculum recognizes the science and the soul behind human relationships as the foundation for creating healthy and engaged, equity-based learning environments for both the educational caregiver and the students they serve.

​

"I will rewatch all of the lessons. I actually feel like a healed person."

 The Present Schools ProjectTM  

is a professional development training designed to engage school staff, educators, and administrators in expanding their knowledge of how to embody and live out soul justice and social justice in schools.

 

As one teacher put it best -- 

This training, while it addresses the very personal needs of avoiding teacher burnout and coping with stress, finds its way into improving our relationships with everyone we encounter on our mission to teach. Self-love as the cornerstone of racial justice seems simple, cutting edge, and essential all at once. 

​

​

"The Present Schools Project has helped change the mindset of my staff from surviving to striving. My school experienced significant trauma last year. Jennifer and Nuhu created a space for my staff to heal, care, and restore their love for teaching."

 The Healing Health Caregiver ProjectTM  

​

We don't only support educators and educational staff! Human-service professionals in heart-centered, healing and helping professions like health care and public health feel the very real impact of compassion fatigue, burnout, secondary trauma, and moral injury.

We can help!

 

The Healing Health Caregiver ProjectTM is an experience and evidence-based curriculum that promotes emotional healing, mental health, and burnout restoration designed specifically for health caregivers. We know that our health caregivers "support and maximize human and system capacity and potential" (Kreitzer and Koithan, 2019), and our curriculum is designed to support and maximize their inner capacity and innate potential.
