Dawn McGrath, Neighbor

Dawn has more than a decade of experience in public education, where she worked as an elementary special education teacher as well as a special education administrator. Her background as both an educator and a writer created a natural bridge to coaching, blogging, and curriculum development. Incorporating her passion for all things wellness, Dawn crafted her vision for what would become Well Together Now.

Well Together Now aims to grow a “WELLcommunity.” Through enrichment programs, guidance, and opportunities for connectedness, WTN’s mission is to foster overall wellness, growth mindset, and the interrelationship between giving back and being well. The website (https://welltogethernow.com) serves as a platform for offering education, coaching, and mutual support.

As Founder and Head Coach, Dawn develops and leads unique wellness programming to serve communities at various levels including, adult, youth, and corporate clientele. Most recently, she launched WTN Girls C.A.N., a series of clinics focused on improving youth wellness through lenses of Confidence, Activity, and Nutrition.

Dawn is currently authoring comprehensive, standards-based wellness curricula for levels K-12. The WTN Girls C.A.N. ©, WTN All Kids WELLcome ©, and WTN Teens T.H.R.I.V.E. © enrichment programs include differentiated scopes and content. However, all programs emphasize a growth mindset and present mental and physical health as symbiotic.

Beyond the curriculum, you can find Dawn’s written work on the Well Together Now blog. The content is devoted to a health and wellness framework and organized by subject threads. While the intention is most often to educate and raise awareness, at times, this is accomplished through sharing honest, personal experience, and reflection. All entries are designed to invite conversation and host voices of the community through the comments.

In addition to a BS in Communications, Dawn’s credentials include: USA Track & Field-L1, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Interscholastic Coach, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and Certified Mental Health First Aider for Youth & Adults.
