Teacher Mental Health and Well-Being: Time to Make It a Priority
Jalynn Albrecht
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v17 n1 p48-51 2025
Teaching is an exceedingly demanding profession, yet teacher well-being is often neglected in favor of focusing on student mental health. Educators face significant levels of stress, ranking among the top professions for poor mental health and job satisfaction, which impacts both teacher and student success. Addressing teacher mental health requires systemic change, with collective responsibility from governments, communities, schools, and individuals. Small, intentional improvements at all levels can have a significant impact. Just as it "takes a village to raise a child," it also takes a village to care for teachers, ensuring the well-being of both educators and students. The author's professional experiences provide real-life examples to enrich information drawn from the literature.
