Safeguarding Teacher Wellbeing

All Teachers and support staff, coaches mentors & support personnel of any level.

New research shows the rate of depression, anxiety and stress experienced by Australia’s teaching workforce is three times the national norm. Teachers’ ability to manage workloads was identified as a key factor influencing their mental health. Those who reported their workload as unmanageable were significantly more likely to experience depressive symptoms, which in turn were strongly associated with their intentions to leave the profession. (The Educator Australia, August 2025)

This workshop explores practical tools and strategies to help manage teacher workload and stress; AND invites teachers to invest in evidence-based techniques and practices that protect and optimise wellbeing.

I love the fantastic variety of workshops and conferences on offer. Always look forward to Critical Agendas PD’s.

Just a big Thank you for giving us the opportunity to attend the Critical Agenda Workshop yesterday.  David presented a great program, lots of handy strategies and he was very engaging and supportive. Highly recommended.  I was very happy we did not have to do any Role play’s.

Loved the honesty in the sharing of information and strategies

The best P.D. I have attended in living memory!” I loved every minute of this engaging, interesting and informative PD. And I have been teaching for 40+ years!
