Let’s Talk Wellbeing - is the fourth webinar in Cool.org’s 2024 Cool.org Online Workshop Series.

Wellbeing is much talked about in education. We know that young people are at risk of and struggling with declining mental health. We also know that many educators are feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, leading to declines in their own wellbeing.

This workshop is for, and primarily about, you—our educators. 

You’ll be joined by educators Kirsten from Cool.org and Megan Corcoran for a free, hour-long workshop focusing on personal and collective wellbeing. You’ll have opportunities to ask questions and walk away with tangible, sustainable strategies and ideas you can use in term 4 and beyond to take care of your own wellbeing, lend a hand to your peers and support your students.

The 2024 Cool Workshop Series is a collaborative, inclusive and engaging educator learning opportunity. Sign up, share with your peers and send your questions to Kirsten. We’ll use some of these to get the ball rolling on the day. We can’t wait to meet you.
