Webinar on mental well-being for teachers organised

The Hindu In School organised a webinar on mental well-being for teachers, which saw participation from educators across India. The aim of the event was to shed light on the unique mental health challenges faced by teachers. Lakshmi R, a Mental Health Counsellor & Trainer spoke about the challenges faced by educators, such as burnout, emotional exhaustion, and the pressure to meet academic and emotional needs of students. She emphasised how teachers often overlook their own mental well-being, focusing instead on their students’ needs.

Sridhar Aranala, Vice-President, Sales and Distribution, The Hindu Group, shared the vision behind organising the webinar. “Just as we are advised to wear our own safety mask before helping others in an airplane, the same applies to teachers. Taking care of your own well-being is the first step in nurturing the minds of students,” he said.
