Minding Your Wellbeing/Teacher Wellbeing |
| This workbook was designed to accompany the PDST Teacher Wellbeing workshops and contains a range of activities and supports aimed at supporting teachers. This workbook explores the concept of wellbeing and how teachers can be supported in maintaining and developing their wellbeing. It outlines a toolkit that teachers can adopt to develop a range of strategies towards benefitting their personal and professional wellbeing. | This manual was compiled by Dr. Carol O'Sullivan, MIC. It calls on teachers to reflect on their own sense of wellbeing and to acknowledge the importance of wellbeing in their personal lives. Part one explores the concept of wellbeing across the educational spectrum. Part two looks at how to operationalise teacher wellbeing in schools and part three presents a selection of practical activities which teachers can use on their own, with colleagues, in their classrooms or with parents. | Food plays an integral part in maintaining a sense of wellbeing.Whether it’s eating a healthy and nutritious meal, sharing stories with family and friends over a hearty meal or indulging in a treat to mark a special occasion, there is always healing in food. The PDST Health & Wellbeing team have created this recipe book which is bursting with our favourite recipes.There are plenty of delicious recipes to choose from to help keep the sunny side out and energy levels boosted. | A new video-based mental health wellbeing programme from called Minding your Wellbeing is now freely accessible. This evidence-based programme from HSE Health and Wellbeing provides an unique opportunity for people to learn more about mindfulness, gratitude, self-care and resilience. |

What is wellbeing and why is it important?
In its simplest form, wellbeing is your ability to feel good and function effectively. It gives you the resources to navigate the highs and lows we all experience in our work and in our lives, whilst enabling you to intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically ‘flourish’. As a result, studies are finding people who have higher levels of wellbeing reap all sorts of benefits. They are more resilient and have more energy, they are healthier and happier, and they are more productive. Despite your best intentions, we understand that finding the time and energy to look after yourself is challenging. Here, we outline small, practical, excuse-proof steps you can take to improve your chances of consistently flourishing. And yes, while looking after your physical wellbeing definitely helps, did you know that even just a few minutes each day genuinely connecting with people you value, finding heart-felt reasons to laugh, and doing more of what you do best can also have a significant impact? Every step you take can be in the right direction.
