Student Wellbeing in a Fast-Paced World: Our Approach to Mental Health and Resilience
Wellbeing remains a top priority for our global family — and at BIS Houston, it’s at the heart of everything we do. A truly great education goes beyond academics. It’s about nurturing the whole child and creating an environment where students feel supported, confident, and ready to thrive.
Dedicated School Counsellor: Supporting Every Student
One of the most powerful ways we champion wellbeing is through our world-class School Counsellor, Ms S. Her role goes far beyond offering advice — she is a valued guide who helps students navigate the challenges of school life, manage stress, and build resilience.
Ms S is a licensed professional with over 15 years of experience in student wellbeing and mental health, and she has been part of the BIS Houston community for nine years. Her deep understanding of our students and school culture makes her an invaluable resource for both group workshops and personalised one-to-one sessions. From mindfulness techniques to practical wellbeing strategies, these sessions help students stay balanced and focused as they progress through school and prepare for future opportunities.
As Ms S says:
“Wellbeing isn’t an add-on, it’s essential. When students feel grounded and supported, they can achieve their full potential — academically and personally.”
Starting the Year with Wellbeing at the Heart
Wellbeing isn’t just for students. Behind every great student experience is a teacher who feels valued and cared for. That’s why we started the year with a Professional Development Day focused on wellbeing, giving our educators time to recharge and invest in themselves.
Our Health Fair brought hands-on resources and expert advice directly to our staff, with partners including MD Anderson Cancer Center, StretchLab, Barrachina Pharmacy, Roxell EMT, and Quest Diagnostics. From health screenings to stress-relief techniques, this day was all about ensuring our teachers begin the year feeling energised and supported.
Why Wellbeing Matters
Wellbeing impacts every part of life. At BIS Houston, we know there is no limit to what our students can achieve when they feel balanced and confident. By prioritising mental health and emotional resilience, we help students thrive academically, socially, and personally.
