How to stay well when the work’s never done: practical strategies for teachers

The start of a new academic year is the perfect opportunity to establish habits that support your wellbeing before the demands of the term begin to build.

Join Education Support for this practical, evidence-based webinar designed specifically for teachers and education staff. Whether you’re new to the profession or an experienced educator, you’ll gain a better understanding of how stress affects your mind and body and learn realistic strategies to protect your wellbeing throughout the school year.

Drawing on the latest evidence and Education Support’s expertise in teacher mental health, this session will explore how to build strong wellbeing foundations, manage challenging situations more effectively and prevent stress from developing into burnout.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

  • The building blocks of good wellbeing and how to strengthen them.

  • Practical strategies for managing challenging situations at work.
  • How to close the stress cycle and recover more effectively.
