“When I spent my four years training to be a teacher, there was no talk about wellbeing - no talk about what to do when a student's falling apart, or the human side of the role." Meg Durham If you’re a teacher (or you know someone who is), then it won’t be news to you that educators everywhere are suffering from burnout - and is it any wonder, when you consider everything teachers have to be prepared for? It’s not just about the lesson plans, the class schedules, and the working day that never really ends at 3 pm. It’s the beautifully heavy emotional load that comes with educating young people - only to look more closely and realise that each of them are carrying an emotional load of their own. The first episode of The School of Wellbeing Podcast is all about my journey from childhood to teaching and the hard lessons I learned along the way.  For detailed shownotes for this episode - https://openmindeducation.com/ep-1-if-not-now-when/  To keep up with the latest news and events - https://openmindeducation.com/thought-weekly/    Meg Durham Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/megdurham__/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/openmindeduau  Thought of The Week - https://openmindeducation.com/thought-weekly/  Booking Requests - https://openmindeducation.com/booking-request/      Lifeline Australia 13 11 14
