While we are doing all we can to support the wellbeing of our young people during the school closures, we must not forget our teachers. From financial grants to mental health support, Sophie Howells advises

Our mental health and wellbeing are under pressure as never before and many of us will be feeling stressed and anxious.

As the coronavirus crisis continues and many of us adjust to working from home, we can all do things to bolster our emotional wellbeing and mental health, to improve our ability to manage anxiety and the times when we feel overwhelmed.

Make it a priority and find things that help you, whether you are working from home or going into school. We all have our own strategies but there are some common themes.

Teaching is inherently social and communication is fundamental to everyone working in schools. Stay in close touch and share your fears and concerns openly and honestly with friends, partners, colleagues and managers to get some perspective.
