OPINION: Teachers and students are not okay right now. More mental health training would help (hechingerreport.org)

I went to a wellbeing workshop last year for teachers and the entire time was dedicated to explaining how it was the responsibility of teachers to practice wellbeing, and whilst I'm not against this in principle, I couldn't help but think of the ways that lack of external support for teachers played such an important role. Telling teachers to "be less stressed" is sometimes good, but sometimes you just need someone to take some of your stress away.
