Wellbeing and self-care resources for teachers

…. because you matter too!

Burnout is Real

Burnout isn't just feeling tired — it's emotional exhaustion, disconnection, and a deep sense of being overwhelmed. For teachers, it's often a slow build, masked by the pressure to keep showing up, giving more, and staying strong for everyone else. But burnout is not a personal failure — it's a sign your system is asking for care.

The Hidden Weight of Teaching

Teaching is more than a job — it’s a calling. Yet behind the lesson plans and classroom smiles is a complex emotional load: caring for young lives, navigating systemic pressures, and often sacrificing your own needs in the process. The emotional labor of teaching is real, and it deserves recognition and support.

Your Wellbeing Matters

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Prioritising your wellbeing isn’t a luxury — it’s essential. When you feel grounded and supported, you can show up more fully for your students and yourself. Whether it’s through one-on-one counselling, group support, or stepping away on retreat, you deserve to feel whole again.
