With guest Danielle Moradi, a counselor with expertise in educator wellness, hosts Morgan
Dearth and Chloe Rafada discuss the crucial subject of teacher mental health in this episode,
Head & Heart. The conversation emphasizes how closely student achievement, classroom
success, and teacher well-being are all related. Effective stress management strategies,
identifying and treating compassion fatigue, and managing secondary trauma are important
subjects. Particularly in light of the COVID-19 challenges, first-year teachers will gain important
insights on how to avoid burnout and achieve work-life balance. The episode also highlights the
importance of supporting students who are going through personal difficulties and cultivating
good relationships with both students and coworkers.
