In a Forbes article, our report “The State of Mental Health in U.S. Educators” was featured to showcase the critical mental health crisis facing both teachers and educators.
In our research conducted, we found that 1.86 million educators across the States described their mental health as “not good” and 61% reported they were always or often deal with high-stress over a 30-day period.
Today, organizations are looking to innovative meditation and online CBT platforms to solve their greatest workplace mental health challenges. At Starling, we specialize in supporting educators to manage their stress, anxiety, and depression. Within our platform is a confidential online community to help educators talk about their struggles without judgement and in the comfort of their home.
According to our data, the most common struggles teachers face are:
- Student behavioral issues and violence
- Complicated classroom composition with multiple individualized learning plans
- Declining classroom resources
- Increasing demands from parents and administrators
- Growing job insecurity due to budget cutting
