Why Lyndsay Morris Created Generation Wellness: Empower Over 500,000 Students + Staff

In 2013, Lyndsay Morris embarked on a mission that would transform countless lives. She founded Generation Wellness to address the escalating stress, trauma, and overwhelm faced by students, staff, and families. Her journey began in the classroom as a teacher, where she quickly realized that many students were struggling with issues that hindered their ability to learn and thrive.

Morris intuitively spent more time on Morning Meetings, connection activities, and emotional regulation, understanding that students needed to feel connected and regulated to absorb the content being taught. Her dedication to SEL and wellness, led her to become a school counselor, determined to support both students and staff. However, she soon discovered the depths of darkness many were facing and saw a significant gap between reality and available resources.

This realization sparked her mission to create simple wellness resources that teach peace, reduce shame, and increase well-being. Recognizing the critical role that emotional well-being plays in academic success, staff burnout and retention, and overall life satisfaction, she aimed to provide practical tools and strategies to enhance mental health and resilience. After nearly a decade of serving her school communities, she decided to extend her mission globally.
