Summary

The goal is to address the escalating issue of K-12 educators facing mental health challenges, particularly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pressing problem impacts both educators and students due to increased stress and workload. While extensive research has been conducted on students' mental health, the study's purpose is to raise awareness about teacher mental health. Its objectives include creating awareness, exploring existing support systems in schools, and proposing enhancements. Analysing both past and current data and conducting cross-district comparisons, I've been able to cultivate a comprehensive understanding of this pressing issue. The study's significance lies in its contribution to the broader comprehension of the profound impact of mental health on eduction. It advocates for the improvement of support system for teachers, aiming to not only benifit the research community but also to raise awareness and offer valuable insights that can enhace support systems for educators, staff, and school districts.
