Support Well-Being and Mental Health in Education
Students and educators have been reporting an increase in mental health concerns. Students may be struggling to return to a traditional classroom. Teachers often report that they are experiencing increased stress due to a greater workload and the increased needs of their students and families. No one is certain what impact the coronavirus will have on long-term mental and physical health.
The resources in this collection explore ideas and strategies you may consider for your classroom to address issues of mental health. As you review the resources in this collection, consider downloading the questions linked below to guide your reflection. If possible, do this work with a team of your colleagues and use the prompts to stimulate discussion. Having conversations about these topics with your colleagues can lead to stimulating discussion and breakthrough ideas.
