Some countries are beginning to relax restrictions, others are reintroducing them, and some are still wondering what best to do.  \nMost schools remain closed and those that are opening are doing so with caution. It is an unprecedented and stressful time for the vast majority of us.  \nThe World Health Organization is warning of a mental health crisis resulting from the pandemic. As their Mental Health Department Director, Devora Kestel, puts it:  \n“The isolation, the fear, the uncertainty, the economic turmoil-they all cause or could cause psychological distress. [...] People who have previously coped well, are now less able to cope because of the multiple stressors generated by the pandemic. [...] It is normal to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or angry during a crisis.”  \nTo help you navigate this uncertainty and manage your stress we have invited two experts to record awebinar about prioritising wellbeing in a time of disruption and transition.  \nIt is my pleasure to introduce to you Amy Burke and Kevin Hawkins who have written books, articles and led many workshops on mindfulness and social and emotional learning around the world. We hope you enjoy the webinar.  \nWelcome, Amy and Kevin.  \nThank you very much, it’s really a pleasure to be here and I know, Paul, when you mentioned that all those statistics and the comments from the WHO, it’s very, very sobering information  \n***  \nAnd so this topic of prioritising wellbeing is really of upmost importance right now, and it’s not necessarily a luxury so much as it is a necessity that we need to do this particularly in education. So, you know, even in this very serious time we feel it is a real pleasure and honour to have this opportunity to connect with the Cambridge educators around the world. And, you know…  \n***  \n…it’s not so long ago it feels now that we actually were with the Cambridge community in person in Cape Town. We were lucky enough last year to be invited to speak at the Cambridge Schools Conference: so that’s me and that’s Kevin, and, while we can’t be with anybody in person right now, we know that real connections can still be made online and that’s what we hope to be doing here now.  \n***  \nAmy’s from Canada and I’m from England but we’re actually living right now in Spain in this village called Serra near to Valencia up in the hills. We’re fortunate that we’ve been here through the lockdown because it’s a quiet place-we are not living in the city.  \n***  \nBut Spain has been very hard hit by the virus, as many parts of the world have. And as we look down the valley towards Valencia, you know, you see the city lying there and we cannot forget about the huge suffering that’s been happening just a little way away  \n***  \nto the Spanish people, to the healthcare workers and to the people all around the world,  \n***  \nliterally all around the world.  \n***  \nAnd as Paul was saying, it depends, you know, where you are in the world right now how much you’ve been affected by this: some slightly, some I guess very significantly. And as educators there’s been such a sudden shift to distance learning, to online learning, and that’s been a stressful move for many teachers, students and parents. But we really admire the way that schools have been able to handle this, that the leaders and teachers and parents have pulled together and really coped very well in this challenging time of disruption. Because this really is a personal crisis as well as a professional crisis, so, as well as coping with school changes, we know that many of you are having to cope with this on a personal level, working from home, maybe having your kids at home, so","cbCaitjTJsZYQ1jk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitjTJsZYQ1jk","pdf",489069,13,"English","# Introduction\n## Pandemic disruption and school closures\n# Psychological impact and wellbeing needs\n## WHO warning and educators’ stressors\n# Online survey and emotional word cloud\n# Mindfulness and social-emotional learning in practice","[{\"question\":\"Why does the webinar emphasize wellbeing as a necessity for education during disruption?\",\"answer\":\"Because COVID-19 has created unprecedented stress and uncertainty affecting teachers, students, and parents, wellbeing support is framed as essential rather than optional.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the transcript use from the World Health Organization to explain the mental health impact?\",\"answer\":\"It quotes that isolation, fear, uncertainty, and economic turmoil can cause psychological distress, and that people may struggle to cope due to multiple pandemic stressors.\"},{\"question\":\"What emotions did the international school counsellors’ survey highlight?\",\"answer\":\"The word cloud includes anxious, uncertain, overwhelmed, stressed, tired, worried, and also shows grateful, relieved, and a degree of joy.\"}]","Prioritising wellbeing in a time of disruption and transition - webinar | PDF",1792723479,33]
