A wellness training course to develop teachers’ natural capacity for well-being and happiness, making them more effective in what they do.
In the Philippines, the DepEd’s Essential Health Care Program (EHCP) has been recognized internationally as one of the best practices in primary health care among children (www.deped.gov.ph). It is time we complete the picture and include the very people nurturing our children in school—the teachers.
We do know that teachers are one of the school’s valuable assets but too often they easily fall prey to stress. Handling students day in and day out may sometimes take its toll thereby affecting their health and well-being and consequently their performance and productivity.
It is a workshop that will assist them in the following areas: Increase their mental and physical health; increase their productivity and reduce absenteeism; increase job satisfaction and loyalty as well as strengthen the organization’s values and culture.
EMPOWERING: create positive changes
HEALING: find balance within
NOURISHING: feel the joy of nurturing oneself as we nurture others
The Wellness Training Program includes:
- Relaxation Techniques: Learning how to connect with one’s breath from the quietness that lies within to become refreshed and re-energized.
- Throat & Voice Care: Unlocking the secrets of using the voice more effectively.
- Finding Ease with Your Eyes: Exploring ways to relieve tired eyes and improve eyesight.
- Soothing Self-Massage: Using the sense of touch to release tension and relax the muscles.
- Sound Healing: Experiencing the magic of sound and music to calm oneself.
- Laughter Yoga: Calling out our happy cells to bring about positive energies.
- Motivational and Inspirational Talks
Health impacts every aspect of life. Wellness programs are now gaining popularity in the workplace. Let us join the wellness campaign as we empower our teachers to create positive changes, find balance within and feel the joy of nurturing themselves so they in turn can also nurture happy and healthy students.
