Keeping Calm In Preschool: Talking Mental Health For Early Childhood Educators

Search Mental Health – Early Childhood Educators – Singapore and you will probably find a listing of links pertaining to children’s social-emotional wellness instead.

Search a little deeper and a handful of articles might pop up, such as one that indicates Singapore’s Ministry of Education is aware of “gaps that need plugging” when addressing teacher burnout in Singapore (Goh & Yip, 2021).

Whilst the mental health of our young is certainly a priority, is it really true that teachers are “self-sacrificial” adults who can cope with the stressors of teaching? Should we even assume or expect this?

Join Dr Denise and Dr Cecilia Chu in this online workshop where they will discuss some of the tangible ways changes can be made at both the individual and systemic levels to alleviate anxiety, anger, frustration, and depression in early childhood settings in Singapore.

~ A workshop for teachers and leaders alike! ~

The cost of this workshop is SGD0.

Registration will close 24 hours before the start of the workshop.
