Teacher Wellbeing cards coming soon!

Are you an educator looking for a better work-life balance? Are you feeling exhausted or overwhelmed in your teaching role and looking for ways to improve your energy levels and sense of connection? Do you work in a team that needs an infusion of hope, creativity and joy?

Then our latest offering may be just what you’re looking for!

Based on years of research by authors, Professor Monica Thielking (Dean of the School of Psychology and Health, La Trobe University), Dr. Kristina Turner (Senior Lecturer in Education. La Trobe University), and school-based psychologist, Dr. Imogen Frazer, these beautiful, evidence-based cards are designed to open-up honest and hopeful conversations about teacher wellbeing, in all its myriad forms.

In the fast-paced, demanding, and every-changing educational environments that educators find themselves in today—from primary and secondary teachers, to early years educators and university lecturers—finding the time to reflect on mental and physical health, values and relationships, can be challenging.

Use the Teacher Wellbeing cards to have conversations about:

• how you can replenish your energy and enthusiasm
• where you find meaning and how you can focus on those things more
• what brings you joy in your work
• how you can create meaningful boundaries
• what you do to take care of yourself
• how you connect with others
• what you are grateful for
• how to name and work through challenges
• who supports you
• what you do to celebrate your successes, big and small.

The Teacher Wellbeing cards include artwork by exceptional artist and educator, Kain White. These stunning images have been deliberately designed to be reflective, evocative and hopeful. Drawing strongly on the natural world, the cards invite people to experience a sense of calm and optimism.

The 32 cards in the set also include a single word on the front and three sentence starter prompts on the back, to help the conversation along. Plus, you will have access to a digital toolbox of extras, including a digital booklet, with lots of ideas for using the cards, a digital set of the cards so you can use them anywhere, anytime, card hacks, articles and lots of other great support materials.

We understand that teachers are incredibly busy, so we have designed the cards to be used even when you’re short on time—in that 5-minute break between classes, as a reminder on your desk or fridge, or as a quick prompt in a debrief with colleagues. They are also perfect for staff meetings, professional development, team building and for counsellors supporting educators, to build a culture of support, respect, kindness and trust.

The Teacher Wellbeing cards will be available in mid-2025.
