The Retention Crisis

Burnout is your school's
most expensive unsolved problem.

Teaching is the highest-stress profession in America. Your staff carries the weight of 30 kids' challenges every day, with no tools to decompress when they get home. Over time, that weight becomes a decision to leave.

You've tried EAP. Fewer than 1-2% of educators ever use it. Wellness days don't move the needle. And every teacher who walks out the door costs your school $20,000 or more to replace.

Schools that act proactively are keeping teachers others are losing. The difference is giving educators the right tools before burnout becomes a resignation.

Why Forte Works

Not another wellness app.
A program that actually keeps teachers.

You've tried EAP. You've run wellness days. You've added resources to the staff newsletter. And you've still watched talented teachers hand in their resignation letters. That's not a leadership failure. It's a tools failure. You deserve something that actually works.

Forte is the only Mental Fitness platform built specifically for educators, combining regular training, real 1:1 Coaching, and school-wide visibility into one program. More than 10,000 educators can prove it makes a difference.

How It's Different

Mental Fitness is a skill. Your teachers can build it.

Most programs treat burnout like a personal failure. Forte treats it like what it actually is: a capacity problem. When educators lack the tools to regulate stress and recover from pressure, no hotline or wellness day will fix it.

Forte builds resilience through regular practice and expert 1:1 Coaching, the same way you'd develop any other skill. Educators actually use it because it fits their life and delivers results they can feel.

I loved it! I wasn't sure what to expect with my first call, but we talked about something specific that I hadn't been able to figure out yet, and when we were done I had a plan and now know how to make it happen!

I am a school principal. This job has a lot of stress that comes with it and I wanted to connect with a guide on Forte to process through some of that. I scrolled through the guide profiles and found one that seemed like it would be a good fit. It is! She listens thoughtfully and asks good questions to get me to think deeper or consider things from another angle. At my last meeting we talked about the power of gratitude. That has helped me to choose gratitude instead of anxiety or frustration during stressful times. Forte affects who I am outside of work too.

My Coach made me feel seen and heard without the pressure of being judged. It's like talking to a trusted friend when you feel you have no support system to help you.

My Coach helps talk through my concerns to feel more grounded. I feel more confident about prioritizing my future to ensure my next moves are my best moves.

This was my first session and it seems like a great program, a stepping stone if one needs to find clinical care. I found it to be very beneficial and hope it can be long lasting.

Common Questions

Frequently asked.

Answers to the questions school leaders ask most before partnering with Forte.

EAPs are reactive: they exist for educators who've already reached a crisis point. Forte is proactive. We build resilience through daily practice and regular Coaching before burnout sets in. The result is dramatically higher educator engagement and significant reductions in voluntary staff departures that schools see clearly by end of year one.

Individual educator data is always 100% private. Administrators only access anonymized, school-wide trend data, never individual conversations, Coaching notes, or personal scores. Privacy is fundamental to how Forte works, and it's why educators actually engage with it honestly.

Most educators feel a meaningful difference within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use. Schools typically see measurable shifts in school-wide wellbeing data by mid-year, and stronger staff retention becomes visible at the end of the academic year. We help you set a measurement baseline before you launch.

Daily training exercises take 5 to 10 minutes. Coaching Sessions are typically 30 minutes and scheduled at whatever frequency works for the educator: weekly, biweekly, or as needed. Forte is built to fit into a teacher's day, not add to their workload.

We handle onboarding. After you sign, our team works with your HR and comms leads to create a launch plan, send educator invitations, and run a kickoff Session. Most schools are fully launched within 4 weeks. We stay closely involved through the first 90 days to drive adoption.
