๐Ÿงต 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?

๐Ÿ’ญ community connection matters and needs person-centred approaches
๐Ÿ’ญ creating a sense of belonging requires humility, we wonโ€™t always get it right
๐Ÿ’ญ making time/ space to listen actively makes an impact
๐Ÿ’ญ when YP feel seen/valued, they often then proactively seek to create this feeling for others
