World Mental Health Day Teachers play a crucial role in shaping the future of students.

Our mental well-being is central to the success of our students. A teacher’s state of mind directly affects how they teach, connect, and create a positive classroom atmosphere. When we feel supported and balanced, learning becomes joyful and impactful. When we are overworked or emotionally drained, the ripple effects can reach every corner of the classroom.
