About Us

Kathleen M. Brophy, M.Ed

Kathleen Brophy retired in June, 2024 after spending 31 years in public education. The last ten years have been focused on educator and student well-being, and the emotions that affect educators. Kathy has been recognized for multiple teaching awards for her advocacy, passion and innovation. When she isn’t working with educators, you can find her either on the dance floor or talking with folks on her podcast, Little Victories. She loves a good practical joke, and appreciates the small unexpected moments that she shares with her family.

The Bridge Program is designed to be a short-term intervention for students returning from hospitalizations for emotional or medical reasons. He has been teaching mindfulness to educators since 2009. Before becoming an educator Adam was a radio disc jockey at MAGIC 106.7 in Boston.

Testimonials

EDUCATOR TESTIMONIALS

"We have partnered with K&A Connecting twice for meaningful self care courses for our faculty and staff. After each session, we have asked participants for feedback and many say it is the best PD they have ever done. They say the learning has postively impacted their lives and their teaching."
