It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and at STEP, we believe that every action counts, for yourself, for your colleagues, and for our whole school community. 🟠
From ECTs beginning their journey to experienced leaders, your well-being is the foundation of everything you do. This week, let’s commit to one small action: a check-in, a digital boundary, or simply a 5-minute breather.
You don't have to pour from an empty cup. Let's take action together.
