Dr Adam’s research shows that the vast majority of educators are stuck in a chronic state of stress. Most concerning is that educators are so used to this state they are no longer aware of the detrimental impact stress is having on them. The fall out of this chronic stress is it leads to not only burnout and reductions in work efficiency, but also compassion fatigue (this dramatically reduces their ability to connect with others and display empathy). 

In this presentation, Dr Adam will share with you practical and tangible strategies to pull yourself out of this downward spiral. These can not only used for yourself, but also shared with your team and the whole school community.
