@amy_israel12 #FTinELM Political point scoring from the DA, but according to Parents for Equal Education SA, the mental health services run by the WCED are ineffective. Who do we believe?

@PurenSas72055 @Smith93Ivan @KrynauwJan92893 @YassimKat I hope we can find some time in our busy schedule....

@PurenSas72055 @YassimKat @hollis876 This recognition came as a surprise, and I am sincerely grateful to the Department of Education for the acknowledgment. It’s encouraging to know that the work we do is being noticed.

@PurenSas72055 @YassimKat It's a valid concern. Systemic changes like stronger policies, supportive leadership, and collaboration can help manage these challenges in a lasting way.

It allows educators and leaders to focus more on teaching and less on admin it's a great step towards a healthier school environment.

@amy_israel12 @YassimKat @YusraHarmse @CliveKOSmith Spot on! Mental health is essential, not optional. Strong leadership means prioritising wellbeing for both staff and learners.

[The Leadership Log @leadership_log]

Leaders can set the tone for good mental health in the workplace. To support your team and be there for everyone around you, you MUST start with yourself. #SelfCare

So, how are you taking care of yourself as a leader?

🛑 ATTN: Leaders 🛑

You can’t promote mental health if you’re modeling burnout.

➡️ Take your PTO.
➡️ Disconnect after hours.
➡️ Talk about your purpose.
➡️ Share resources.

Mental health at work starts at the top — and leaders, your example matters more than your words.
