Toria talks to Chris about why he is on a mission to support educational staff to prioritise their mental health and wellbeing. He believes that if teaching staff put their MindFirst and truly look after their mental wellbeing then they would be happier, healthier and more effective in the classroom. Chris talks about how his mindset and search for professional success contributed to him suffering from burnout syndrome.
Chris has been raising the awareness of burnout and positive mental health over the past 3 years but is now making the move to set up a company which will focus on adults improving their mental health. He is a qualified Mental Health First Aid Instructor and an experienced Wellness Coach. Chris is going part time as a teacher to deliver positive mental wellbeing training, up skill leaders to support staff more effectively and empower individuals to live happy and fulfilling lives. Chris has 15 years of experience as a secondary school teacher, mentor and coach.
