On #InternationalMentalHealthDay, ETUCE is proud to highlight our ongoing efforts to address the mental health challenges faced by education professionals. Through the #ApresCovid project, co-funded by the EU, in partnership with the European Federation of Education Employers and funded by the European Commission, we are conducting case studies across Europe to assess the impact of COVID-19 on teachers' well-being. This week, we are visiting Escola de Tecnologias Inovação e Criação and Escola Secundária Passos Manuel in Portugal, conducting interviews with teachers and school leaders. The insights from these visits will help inform our advocacy for better mental health support in education.
