M. Smith  \nAbstract  \nTeachers are in a profession with high levels of stress, which play a role in absenteeism and burnout. Many studies have focused on teacher burnout; however, limited literature has examined how to support teacher well-being. Based on my research of school wellness initiatives, I discovered that the role and significance of teachers is the linchpin for establishing and sustaining school health. This article focuses on the stakeholders involved in the work of building a healthy school community, the role of school divisions, and how the whole school community benefits from teachers who are provided psychological health and safety supports in the workplace.  \nMonday Morning Struggles  \nIt’s a Monday morning before students have arrived at school , and as normal I turn on my computer and check my email. There is an update from the principal: an educational assistant (EA) will be away in one classroom and a teacher is sick in another classroom. No substitutes can be found for either, so the scramble begins of adjusting EA and teacher schedules to meet the needs of students and recess duty coverage for the day.  \nUnfortunately, this scenario is typical and there are many times our school struggles to find substitute teachers for teachers needing time off for medical, sick leave, or professional development purposes. The extra stress of coverage for other teachers, not having adequate preparation time, and losing EAs from one classroom to supervise students in other classrooms likely contributes to burnout for teachers. On top of these changes being made for coverage and day-to-day teaching duties, teachers are burdened with a heavy load of administrative tasks. Faced with increasing expectations from all levels – students, parents, and government – teachers are putting in longer hours at work that is more emotionally demanding.  \nPsychological Health and Safety in the Workplace  \nOver the past year, psychological health and safety in the workplace has been a topic of discussion within the school division where I work. As the Workplace Safety and Health CoChair and WSH Representative on the Swan Valley Teachers’Association, I am part of discussions relating to what steps our division needs to take to create better policies and strategic plans towards a culture of well-being. Von der Embse et al. (2019) stated that many interventions for stress have largely been targeted for students rather than teachers. Our division is in the beginning stages of change as new programs are being implemented for students, new roles such as counsellors are available for students to talk to, and therapeutic learning centers are being created to support students in need of self-regulation strategies.  \nWhereas efforts to build and maintain healthy school communities in support of mental well-being usually focuses on students’ needs, in this study I ask the question: What is the role and significance of teacher well-being in establishing and sustaining these healthy school communities? Asserting the foundational importance of teacher well-being, this article explores  \nkey elements of the Comprehensive School Health framework (Stolp et al. , 2023) to consider what strategies and interventions would best support teachers’ psychological wellness, so that they do not burn out but can continue to provide positive caregiving in supporting student wellbeing.  \nTeacher Stress and Burnout  \nThe Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (Government of Canada, 2023) defines job burnout as –  \nA state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by long-term exposure to demanding work situations. Burnout is the cumulative result of stress   professions with high job demands and few supports can increase the prevalence of burnout and reduce engagement.
