Having enough time for self-care and well-being is very important for teachers: after all, the more relaxed and balanced they feel, the more effectively they can also engage their students! And yet, finding this time can be difficult, as teachers must divide their energy between lesson planning, grading papers, and all the hard hours of teaching – not to mention the even hardest requirement of school meetings! Fortunately, there exist effective strategies to manage stress, and thus reduce burnout, together with other mental health issues, and improve health, happiness, and effectiveness at work. As a participant in this very practical course, you will learn what causes stress, how our bodies and minds respond to it, and how we can combat and revert its effects. You will focus on how to strengthen your body through improved sleep, nutrition, and exercise. And you will make practical exercises to improve mental health and well-being through stress-reduction and resiliency-building. The rich background of the trainer (trained as both a medical doctor and an educator) will help you dive deep into the topics, based on research strategies to relieve stress and supported by evidence-based medicine. By the end of the course, you will have not only acquired the theoretical bases for a healthy life but also have experienced and practiced concrete tools to improve your personal well-being, as well as that of your students.
