Supporting teacher wellbeing

18/03/2022 Racheal Smith

In a survey by Education Support, 62% of education professionals described themselves as stressed. While teaching has always been a profession that saps emotional and psychological energy, the pandemic has increased the pressures.

The National Literacy Trust has launched a Teacher Wellbeing website to support and improve the wellbeing of those in the teaching profession.

A much-needed resource

The campaign to support teachers’ mental wellbeing is a much-needed and urgent response to the overstretched professionals tasked with developing our young people.

The website offers free resources for those looking for support with their stress levels. Promoting connection, activity and self-care, the website offers the best advice for keeping emotional energy levels high while supporting young people.

Help the helper

It is a longstanding truth that the helper’s safety must come first. When undertaking Mental Health First Aid training, the first principle a person learns is that you cannot help another if you are harmed. Consequently, you need to maintain your personal mental wellbeing and emotional safety.

Therefore, we ask our teachers to support young people through challenging times with their mental health. If they are going to succeed in achieving this, they need to look after themselves too.

Year-long campaign

The National Literacy Trust has committed to a year of campaigning for the welfare of teachers. They are committed to helping education recover from the pandemic, and they believe this begins with the teachers.

There will be many events throughout the year to continue raising awareness of the need to support our educational professionals. Continued stress and pressure are a significant cause of teachers leaving the profession or being off sick, and this campaign will help support them so they can stay on the front line of caring for our children.
