Mental Health in Education

Educators – it is time to take care of yourself!

Regardless of your role or the sector in which you are work, you are to be praised for the work you do on a daily basis. You plan lessons and mark the work; management and leadership roles are undertaken with fortitude; you think about the wellbeing of your students, and you consider it a duty of care to ensure your students receive the best guidance and support possible regardless of their ability.

Despite all of this, research produced by The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has highlighted the fact that teaching is a stressful profession; unfortunately, many educators do not usually think about themselves until it is too late. Constant stress, recurring illnesses, burnout, and rethinking the worth of your career, are all signs that you are not doing enough to look after your own mental health and wellbeing.

Regardless of the choices you wish to make, setting boundaries to promote work-life balance is a necessity.

Without the constant stressors in your life, you obtain the freedom to focus on achieving your potential. The energy gained will provide you also with the motivation, confidence, and self-awareness to be more organised; to spend time with family and friends; to use your professional time efficiently, and to work towards your goals.

If you are seeking to create a satisfying career in education, or if, in fact you are contemplating leaving the profession, it is essential to maximise your personal strength, professional attributes, and effectiveness. Regardless of your decision, the failure to reduce stress; to optimise good mental health or to maintain work-life balance could sabotage that goal.
