Mental Health for Educators

INSTRUCTIONS:

In light of the current pandemic, it is important to focus on the mental health of students, but we must also consider the mental health of educators.  The majority of U.S. teachers report that their work is "always" or "often" stressful. Many are also vulnerable to secondhand trauma and compassion fatigue. Recognizing these as urgent issues in K–12 education, what ideas do you have and are there programs for promoting teacher well-being and mental health in your schools or districts?  Explore ways schools can provide better supports to help stave off burnout, depression, and anxiety. Educator mental health need not be the "elephant in the classroom" any longer.
