Let It Out.
Your Healing Deserves Room
“Your silence will not protect you.” – Audre Lorde
Why We Exist
Whether you're leading a school or holding space in a classroom, you’ve likely been praised for your strength while never being offered a place to rest.
At Tended, we believe emotional honesty is a form of resistance.
In DC alone, teachers have shared how isolating it feels to grieve students while being expected to smile and perform.
There’s an unspoken rule:
Don’t talk about the hard stuff.
Don’t show weakness.
We break that rule.
“When we speak, we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid.
So it is better to speak.”
— Audre Lorde
What We Do
Whether through individual care or community care, we inspire and support K-12 educators to prioritize their emotional well-being.
