Teachers are experiencing higher levels of burnout and poor mental health more than ever before.

As one of the most stressful jobs in Ireland, you can give teaching staff the support they need to thrive.

There are more vacancies than teachers. Every teacher you help remain in position is money saved for your school or trust.

The schools and institutions that best help staff manage that stress are the ones that report lower staff turnover, lower recruitment costs, and a more vibrant community.

As one of Ireland’s leading EAP services, we can help you boost teacher wellbeing and cut absenteeism, freeing up your budget to improve your school, college or university.

An EAP could be your educational organisation’s secret weapon

In a stressful role, the importance of wellbeing and mental resilience can’t be overstated. An EAP does more than show your staff you value the effort they put into the role, it provides tangible benefits.

Our employee assistance programmes arm teachers, support staff and administrators with the tools they need to manage stress, handle taxing workloads, and deal with student behavioural issues.

The end result? A well-adjusted, well-supported faculty empowered to look after their health and wellbeing, cut turnover rates, increase teaching quality, and cultivate a more productive atmosphere.

EAP services built for business, tailored to teachers

Our EAP tools and support were built on our experience of supporting over 12.5m people in 88,000 organisations operating in some of the most stressful environments. With everything we learned, we tailored our services to the educational sector, supporting staff with:

Unlimited 24/7 support

The biggest barrier to good mental health for many teachers is limited access to support. We remove that barrier by providing round-the-clock access to our expert counsellors via a dedicated hotline. On everything from workplace stress to debt management, our team will help yours navigate any challenge.

A culture of support

Our real-time wellness trackers help your staff to create an organisational culture of mutual support. By helping faculty members track their sleep, activity levels, stress and more, we help them support each other - improving morale and nurturing a healthier work environment.

Resources on demand

Any teacher can tell you that the right educational resources can be life-changing. Let our curriculum support yours with a library of information on managing stress and burnout, guided meditations, and even workout videos to help your team meet their health goals.

Real world support with real world impact

Our employee assistance programmes for schools and educational institutions deliver higher job satisfaction, lower turnover, and greater productivity. Our clients tell us that the work we do has a measurable impact on the work they do.

“A great addition to our wellbeing offer. Now that people are so used to gaining information on their phones, they can access information, advice and guidance around mental health and wellbeing but also most importantly have 24/7 access to trained counsellors and wellbeing practitioners.”
