Balancing Acts: Mental Health Awareness Program for Teachers

The Mental Health Awareness Program on Work-Life Balance Training for Teachers, organized by the Department of Psychology at Assabah Arts and Science College, was a significant endeavor aimed at enhancing the well-being of educators. Held on July 10, 2023, at 2:00 PM in the college's conference hall and sponsored by the Trust Centre for Mindfulness, the program targeted teachers to raise awareness about mental health issues and equip them with practical strategies for achieving balance in their professional and personal lives. Through workshops on stress management, time management, and communication skills, as well as accessible counseling services and wellness initiatives promoting mindfulness and physical activity, the program addressed critical aspects of teacher well-being. Implemented in collaboration with mental health professionals and seamlessly integrated into the school's professional development schedule, the program underscored the college's commitment to fostering a supportive and understanding environment for its faculty members. Through evaluation measures such as pre- and post-program surveys, monitoring participation, and gathering feedback, the program aimed to yield tangible outcomes, including improved mental health, enhanced job satisfaction, and the cultivation of a healthier school culture.
