Stress causes huge strain on teachers
Published: 08 July, 2009
Responding to Teachers TV statistics showing that over 40 percent of teachers have experienced stress-related illnesses, Teacher Support Network Chief Executive, Julian Stanley, said: "These statistics are in line with our own findings in 2008, which showed that 87 per cent of teachers had experienced stress in the last two years. Of those who identified problems at work as the cause, 78 percent said this was due to excessive workload with 43 per cent citing the rapid pace of change. "As the wellbeing charity for the profession, we know that common mental health problems such as stress, anxiety and depression can have a very real impact on the personal and professional lives of teachers. "It is fundamentally important that headteachers and school leaders create an atmosphere where it's ok to ask for help with stress and receive the support necessary to address their issues, whether personal or professional."
