'It’s all about you' – Exploring Strategies for Educator Wellbeing

A VALBEC (Victorian Adult Literacy and Basic Education Council) Professional Learning session presented by Alexander Vargas.

Being an educator can be immensely meaningful and rewarding, and at the same time incredibly challenging and stressful. In this workshop we will reflect on our experience as educators and explore self-care strategies to support our wellbeing at work. We will examine the PERMA framework for understanding our mental and emotional health and identify protective factors to enhance our resilience when challenges arise. Finally, we will consider the importance of setting boundaries to care for our own and others’ wellbeing.

We look forward to seeing you there.
