[Revisit] Mental Health Awareness: Balancing Well-being in Education

Описание: #EpisodeRevisit



In honor of World Mental Health Day, we’re shining a spotlight on an often overlooked issue in education: the mental health of our educators. As a former teacher, Andrea brings a unique perspective, sharing her experiences both in and out of the classroom.



With burnout and compassion fatigue on the rise, educators are facing unprecedented levels of stress. The key question is: how can we better support teachers so they can continue to nurture and inspire our students?



Research highlights the alarming prevalence of compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress among educators. From increased academic demands to behavioral challenges and ongoing staffing shortages, the mental health burden on teachers has only intensified, especially in the wake of the pandemic. Many report that teaching has never been more difficult.



To address these critical concerns, it's essential to gain a deeper understanding of the mental health challenges teachers face in today’s educational landscape. Join Andrea as she shares key statistics and trends, and provides insight into initiatives and resources aimed at supporting educator well-being.
