In the Teacher Wellbeing Index 2019 72% of educational professionals described themselves as stressed, while 57% had  considered leaving the profession over the previous two years due to pressures on their health and wellbeing. 

“The disproportionately high levels of stress reported by the workforce impede their ability to effectively nurture children and young people, including an increasing number who are vulnerable.The interaction in the classroom of a stressed, overwhelmed, tired and unsupported teacher will be different to that of a supported teacher with a strong sense of professional autonomy, self-efficacy and balance between personal and professional life.”(Teacher Wellbeing Index, 2019, Education Support)

Benefits of Wellbeing Action Planning

The most effective way to address the high levels of stress that staff are experiencing is through wellbeing action planning at both the strategic level and the individual level. This highly practical workshop provides opportunities for participants to not only understand more about stress but to evaluate their own stress responses and develop a personal wellbeing plan to address their individual needs. The workshop also looks at how strategic wellbeing action planning can provide a highly effective approach to tackling stress and work life balance for the whole staff.
