Reducing stress and burnout among teachers and educators

By
Anne Vize

In Taking Care of You we will learn what it is to be stressed, and how stress can lead to more serious and longer-term difficulties. It explores what can be done to manage stress and to ensure that life becomes pleasurable once more, and it looks at some of the protective factors which act to sustain those in the education and care professions and help them to feel positive and excited about their work each day. This resource encourages team members and team leaders to collaborate, plan and take action to reduce the likelihood of stress and burnout occurring and to take positive, meaningful action when the signs arise.
