Choose Love certification offers invaluable benefits for schools, parents, and communities.
Choose Love Certification is a powerful tool that not only helps schools implement and practice Choose Love effectively, but also creates a ripple effect of positivity and compassion in the broader community.
For schools, the certification provides a framework of tried and true best practices, ensuring that they are implementing Choose Love in the most effective way possible. A school-wide support of Choose Love and the essential life skills to foster a safe and compassionate environment.
Parents benefit from the certification by knowing that their children are in a school environment that prioritizes character social emotional development, and are creating a supportive and nurturing community for their children to thrive in. Parents will also be introduced to the Choose Love for Home programming, and will be able to learn and practice these essential life skills alongside their children.
Communities benefit from the certification as it promotes a culture of compassion and understanding, leading to a more harmonious and connected community overall. Clubs, associations, police departments, retail and business owners can embrace Choose Love principles and take part in a Choose Love community day event.

What People Are Saying About Our Workshops
“My greatest takeaway from this workshop was learning about things I can incorporate into my live lessons next year, and even things I can do to help my daughter with her anxiety. I plan to use positive self-talk, music, getting to know students on a more personal level, and share with students different breathing techniques. This is not information that only teachers can use for their students. It's information that anyone can use.”
