Focusing on teachers, school bus drivers’ mental health
SUMMARY: Teaching and bus driving are among the most stressful jobs, significantly impacting both professionals’ and students’ lives. Teachers not only educate but also form emotional bonds with students, which can affect their mental health. This stress contributes to a shortage of educators, despite an increasing demand for teachers. Bus drivers also experience similar stress, with many facing shortages nationwide. Despite these challenges, some teachers and bus drivers continue to persevere due to their passion for the job. To support mental health, experts recommend sleep, exercise, balanced nutrition, and seeking help when needed.
