DragonFly Forward
Partnering with Schools, Families and Communities to Improve Population Health
Training Coaching Consulting Connecting
DragonFly Forward is a pioneering organization that collaborates with schools, communities, and healthcare providers to create a holistic approach to children and youth well-being through social connection, belonging, and healing. Utilizing the principles of the Public Health Prevention Framework (e.g., MTSS), we integrate comprehensive care management within the educational system to address the complex needs of students, ensuring they thrive in supportive learning environments. Our goal is to foster a school community culture that prioritizes health and well-being for all children, youth, families and staff.
A Message of Love and Support for LGBTQ+ Youth
Reimagine Education
At DragonFly Forward, we firmly believe that achieving true inclusion and belonging requires a fundamental shift in how we approach education. We recognize the need to redesign the traditional concept of "doing school" to create a system that prioritizes student health and well-being. We advocate for the power of interconnectedness, where schools, educators, youth, families, and community organizations collaborate as a united front, co-leading the transformation towards inclusive and supportive environments for all students.
Our approach goes beyond individual growth; we strive to create comprehensive systems that positively impact everyone involved. We understand that collective efforts are necessary to ensure equitable access to quality education and support services for all students, particularly those who have been historically marginalized.
Through our comprehensive training, coaching, and consultation services, we empower leadership teams to drive meaningful change within their educational systems. We guide leaders in developing strategies that promote inclusion, foster a sense of belonging, and nurture positive relationships. Our emphasis is on equipping leaders with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to create sustainable and impactful outcomes.
