Description

This course equips educators with CBT strategies to manage stress, prevent burnout, and foster resilience for long-term wellbeing. It begins with understanding the causes and effects of stress and burnout in teachers, exploring how cognitive distortions like catastrophizing or overgeneralization exacerbate these issues. Participants will learn to reframe negative thoughts using CBT’s ABC model and practice mindfulness, relaxation, and grounding techniques to manage stress effectively.
