Healthier Generation and Lakeshore Learning Announce Collaboration to Support Calming Classroom Environments

Alliance for a Healthier Generation, a national children’s health organization, today announced a collaboration with Lakeshore Learning to support classroom environments that promote student well‑being, emotional regulation, and readiness to learn.

The partnership brings together Healthier Generation’s expertise in whole‑child health and Lakeshore Learning’s long‑standing commitment to educators to advance evidence‑informed, practical approaches to creating calming, flexible classroom spaces where students feel safe, supported, and able to re‑engage with learning.

“Creating supportive, affirming environments where young people feel safe and connected is critical to their health, well‑being, and ability to learn,” said Rachal Pichette, Chief Marketing and Partnership Officer at Healthier Generation. “We’re proud to partner with Lakeshore Learning to equip educators with practical resources that help foster healthy classrooms where every child can thrive.”

As part of the collaboration, Lakeshore Learning has developed educator resources informed by Healthier Generation’s guidance on building student-centered environments that support belonging, autonomy, and healthy coping.

“Lakeshore is proud to collaborate with Alliance for a Healthier Generation to help create environments where today’s youth can feel comfortable, focused and ready to learn. By combining Healthier Generation’s expertise in youth well‑being with our hands‑on materials, we’re better able to meet the diverse needs of students," said Sue Gaon, Vice President of Custom Solutions at Lakeshore Learning.
