R4 Implementation report including case studies and testimonials with recommendations for future exploitation
We have elaborated a prevention programme involving 200 (instead of initially planned 80) teachers from Bulgaria, Spain and Turkiye on Burnout syndrome prevention guidelines via self-review with the self-assessment tool and then with the provision of information, guidelines, tips and strategies for prevention as part of the dedicated handbook. We have raised the teachers’ awareness on how to be resistant to potential Burnout syndrome and making their mental health more stable as well as we will raise the society awareness on teachers’ mental health. Our cooperation and the results, which the project developed, led to further capacity building of our staff, our trainers and also we are eager to spread this know-how to other schools and NGOs. Our initiative was monitored also by advisory experts from relevant ministries of educational, health, social policy, social welfare in Bulgaria, Spain and Turkiye.
