Teaching is a noble and rewarding profession, often celebrated for its potential to shape young minds and foster the leaders of tomorrow.

Teachers play a fundamental role in shaping the future of our society. They are the architects of young minds, guiding students towards knowledge, growth, and success. However, it’s easy to overlook the importance of teachers’ mental health in this equation. The mental well-being of educators is not only vital for their personal lives but also has a profound impact on the students they teach and the broader educational ecosystem.
