Staff Wellbeing <\/strong><\/h1>\n

There is growing recognition that school staff make a crucial contribution<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>to the social and emotional development of their students that has lasting effects on their lives<\/span> well into adulthood. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Teachers influence their students not only by how and what they teach but also by how they relate, teach and model social and emotional constructs, and manage the classroom.<\/strong> Jennings & Greenberg (2009)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Self care<\/span><\/strong> is important for everyone to invest in. There are times we need to invest more in self care due to challenges, difficulties or changes we face in our lives.<\/p>\n

We need to invest in self care<\/span><\/strong> if helping others who have wellbeing needs is part of our job. This is to keep ourselves as protected as possible from negative consequences of this role and be as effective as possible at this role.<\/p>\n
