Did you know...
The correlation between teen anxiety and depression and the start of the school year is well documented.
When the school year starts in August the increase begins in August...
When it starts in September the increase begins in September...
And every single year since we've started Physiology First the action plan to support youth mental health from the wellness and academic community is absolutely nothing throughout the entire summer.
Kids suffer the consequences of this unpreparedness every the Fall....
At Physiology First we prepare, plan ahead, and play to win for kids and communities.
It's time to get organized, strategically aligned, and active in building a roadmap to sustainable health businesses, strategic school partnerships, and stronger communities.
We created the Physiology First Fellowship to offer more resources, brass tacks implementation, and boots on the ground resources to our most passionate members.
For example...
I was just speaking with a long time collaborator who is interested in joining the Physiology First Fellowship
His goal is to bring the program into schools in the Connecticut area.
Our team did some research and pulled together this graph on AI resilience in the Connecticut private school system - a market that can afford to provide services from Physiology First.
Understanding where the money is matters as you work to build a sustainable business that is well leveraged to support broader community health.
Which schools are most likely to be impacted by changes in the economy of the next 12 to 18 months?
How will these shifts impact school enrollment?
These are the kind of questions that we need to be prepared for as we show a generation of kids and families that Physiology First is an organization that prepares for the future with optimism, resilience, capacity, and vision.
We will be working with him to target school partnerships with the highest likelihood of long-term success while developing community programs to benefit students and families throughout the entire state.
Then we researched decision makers in his area that he could be given to immediately connect with.
For example, Greenwich just created a new position in 2025, Director of Student Wellness and Support.
He's working to set up a coffee meeting as I type this...
This is an example of what support through the Physiology First Fellowship can look like.
He can now pitch a "done for you professional development program" complete with the Physiology First Five app offering personalized health protocols for students, staff, and families - while laying the bricks in the foundation for a stronger business and a healthier community.
See our Professional Development Program for Schools below:
Whether it's help securing strategic partnerships, building your private practice, or creating your first brick and mortar business - these are the type of resources that you can expect as a member of the Physiology First Fellowship.
It's another tier of support for next level players who want to change the world together.
Applications for the Fellowship are open and we're kicking off this new advanced implementation program on June 21.
Just respond to this post with a DM if you want to join The Physiology First Fellowship and build a new model for human development in your community.
The time to build the foundation that supports our teens and families this September is NOW.
If you're in Australia you know the timeline in your region - same principles, same ethos, same action plan 🇦🇺 Play hard, prepare, plan to win.
Not in the few days before school starts when everyone realizes that nothing has changed since last year - except the entire world that a generation of kids are heading into.
The time to lead is now.
If you're interested in joining The Fellowship let us know - and we'll see you on the front lines.
