School Teacher’s Mental Health Initiative
Helping teachers manage workplace stress and burnout to create healthy teaching environments
It is estimated that 70% of our teachers are under constant stress, with over 20% experiencing burnout.
Burnout includes emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and reduced sense of personal accomplishment.
It has been recently proven that there is now a direct link between teacher stress and levels of stress in their students.
