Stress management tips for teachers – Part two


From the Learning and Development Team at YPO


In the last edition, we provided stress management tips focused on the area of mindset. In this edition, we will focus on talking and taking action.


It’s good to talk…


Share If you can, identify a group of people you can be honest and open with about your feelings. Partners, friends, or close colleagues will want to help, and mixing the group up means you can ask different people for different things.


If you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed, speak to other people. Reach out and check in with each other, even if it is just a quick chat in the staffroom. When we hear peers reflect back on the same thoughts and feelings, it helps us to feel ‘it’s not just me’.


Build a sense of mutual support. And let people further up the chain at work know how you’re feeling too.


Find a confidant who you can trust to talk to, that won’t fuel your negative or stressed thoughts. It’s important to be able to share this in an open and constructive way and have someone to listen to you – even if they don’t offer any solutions or help.
