Let's talk to discuss what you might need.
Helping teachers and educators cope better, and restore a sense of calm, energy and confidence.

However there are also dark sides.
Demanding workloads, high expectations, inadequate support, managing the emotional needs of students and families, workplace bullying as well as challenging, even dangerous behaviour, from students and parents, are just some of the daily challenges that teachers and educators can face.

The Helping Professionals Interview Series (Part 2): Blocks to Support Infographic
Through November – December in late 2021, I met with seventeen helping professionals from the following areas: nursing, teaching, music therapy, pharmacy, counselling, child and family therapy, social work and service management to discuss how they seek help or look after themselves when they are struggling. This infographic summarises key findings.
Towards the end of last year, I met with a number of health and education professionals in an informal process to discuss how they manage their own wellbeing. We discussed what gets in the way of them maintaining their own self-care, and finding external help. Part one of this five-part blog series shares the key blockages to seeking support as experienced by these helping professionals.
