Many teachers and students experience mental health problems without being aware of them. For this reason, it is important for teachers to have good mental health literacy and to be aware of some tools and strategies that can help both themselves and their students. The main objective of this course is to help teachers develop their mental health awareness in order to have a better understanding of mental health and to identify and implement appropriate support strategies. During the course, participants will learn how to identify the risk factors, causes, and presentations of common mental health issues. The links between childhood development, academic performance, and mental health will be explored. Participants will learn about various counseling concepts and how to apply them to help their students along with various tools and techniques to support their students' mental health. The importance of teacher well-being and self-care strategies will be an integral aspect of the course. By the end of this course, participants will have developed their mental health awareness. Combining theory and practical interventions, participants will be better equipped to help students who present with mental health issues. Participants will also gain a deeper understanding of how to manage their own mental health as a teacher.
