How can a family physician promote wellness in our education system?

Questions:
How do we teach our children and youth in a way that also meet their true needs to be physically healthy, attentive and curious learners, social-emotionally aware and responsible citizens at home and at large?
How do I as a family physician facilitate a wellness conversation that might help us find some answers?
Possible solution I can provide:

To facilitate wellness groups for educators and parents to discuss topics such as:

What are the fundamental wellness messages?
How to teach wellness?
How to vaccinate against work burnout
What is addiction?
Understanding anxiety, depression, ADHD and autism spectrum.
How to teach our children to bring the wellness message home?
