Preparing for the Holidays: Caring for our Mental Health and Wellbeing
November 25, 2025 4:30 - 6:00 PM

The holiday season brings joy and celebration for many, and for teachers, it can also introduce a complex mix of stress, emotional fatigue, and competing demands. December can feel overwhelming as workplace responsibilities collide with personal expectations and circumstances. This one-hour workshop is designed to help teachers recognize when holiday stress is affecting them and identify strategies to consider when it does.

Participants will develop their ability to identify signs of emotional strain, practice mental health hygiene, and establish and protect healthy boundaries between work and home life. By setting clear limits and prioritizing self-care, educators can approach the season with greater clarity, resilience, and peace of mind. Let’s make this December a time of restoration.
