The challenges that educators face today are unprecedented. Despite these everchanging challenges, our work with students, families, and our colleagues requires us to be at our best as much as possible. But in order to support others, educators must first support themselves. In fact, across helping professions generally, self-care is considered an ethical imperative. On this page you will find resources to help you in your quest to support your self, your students and their families.
If you are currently feeling heavy or intense emotion, please see the resources' page for support. Please seek support from a licensed mental health professional if you are experiencing overwhelming emotions and need strategies for managing them or determining next steps.
If you or someone you care about feels overwhelmed with emotions like sadness, depression or anxiety, and is thinking of harming themselves or others call 911.
