𧡠Today is World Mental Health Day and a good time to stop and think about our own mental health as educators. What do we do to switch off and recharge? How do we protect and promote our own wellbeing so that we can thrive in a caring profession? ππ Colleagues, students, friends - I have a questionβ¦
