Great leaders understand that mental health and well-being are foundational to individual and organisational success. By creating a supportive environment, leaders help team members feel valued, understood, and empowered to perform at their best. #FTinELM
@Palesa_Mash1 I agree, teaching mental health in the classroom helps learners understand their feelings and learn how to cope with challenges. It gives them skills they can use for life and helps them grow into strong, caring people. #FTinELM
@amy_israel12@YassimKat@CliveKOSmith@tasneemmotan@PurenSas72055 Talking openly about feelings, teaching our learners how to handle stress, and giving teachers support have worked well. Having quiet spaces, fun activities, and kind school leaders also help a lot.
One good way is to make a safe place where teachers and learners can talk about their feelings. Teaching ways to handle stress, doing regular check-ins, and helping staff learn the signs of stress also really helps. Small things can make a big change. #FTinELM@YassimKat
As teachers assist each other, we are developing unity and mental support systems for quality teaching and learning. Completing learners boosts their confidence and well-being. #FTinELM@YassimKat
Mental health issues continue to be a significant, and at times fatal, concern for children and teenagers.
