Preparing an organization
Make support intentional.
Start with three questions for your leadership team.
Draft starter guidance.
Who will stay connected?
Identify an administrator accountable for sustained support, with a backup. Plan how the affected coach can help choose a trusted point of connection.
Who can mobilize practical help?
Clarify who has authority to arrange coverage and share responsibilities, so the coach does not have to coordinate every offer.
How will coaches access existing support?
Explicitly include affected coaches when support is offered. Confirm what is available and how scheduling or coverage can make access possible.
Use these questions alongside existing school or district procedures. Professional care is a separate support pathway.
