Brief summary:

The course provides strategies and practices to prevent burnout and implement sustainable personal and professional well-being throughout the teaching career. In order to sustain professional well-being, it is important to maintain harmony between role expectations and individual needs, values and goals. The course promotes a sustainable healthy approach to teaching by raising awareness of the stages, dimensions and risk factors of burnout, and highlighting the importance of constant self-reflection and self-care.

Description:

The teaching profession has a particularly high-risk factor for burnout. Exhaustion is a natural process when dealing with the demands of the job, but the lack of supervision makes it especially challenging for teachers to cope with emotionally difficult situations and preserve their mental well-being throughout their careers. Teachers need to strengthen their own self-awareness and develop their own practical strategies for mental self-care and health protection to combat emotional exhaustion. 

The course combines theory and practice. The theoretical part will introduce the stages, risk factors and dimensions of burnout, and the possibilities of prevention and intervention. The course is designed with a practical attitude and it also provides participants with the tools and strategies to develop their mental health awareness and promote their lifelong mental health and well-being. Participants will become more resilient and self-reflective, will identify their resources and benefit from a supportive community experience.
