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.
