S4E02 - Emotional health and mindfulness in education

Join our conversation with Chris May, Maya Schroevers and Marieke van Vugt  as we peek into the world of well-being and mental health in educational institutions. Starting from the challenges faced by staff and students, we explore the importance of cultivating emotional health and its role in fostering understanding and resilience. Mindfulness emerges as a valuable tool to support both well-being and academic success within educational settings.

The discussion takes a panoramic look at the hopes, challenges, and risks of incorporating mental well-being tools into the curriculum. Along the way, our guests share their perspectives and some practical tips on prioritizing self-care and awareness in daily life.

For those curious to learn more, these show notes are completed by plenty of useful resources.
