Exploring Psychological Health and Safety Interventions and Their Value to Students, Classroom Teachers, and School Divisions
Brenna F. M. Smith
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v16 n1 p16-21 2024
Teachers are in a profession with high levels of stress, which play a role in absenteeism and burnout. Many studies have focused on teacher burnout; however, limited literature has examined how to support teacher well-being. Based on my research of school wellness initiatives, I discovered that the role and significance of teachers is the linchpin for establishing and sustaining school health. This article focuses on the stakeholders involved in the work of building a healthy school community, the role of school divisions, and how the whole school community benefits from teachers who are provided psychological health and safety supports in the workplace.
