Melissa Corente, a research associate at the University of Ottawa, discusses her review on mental health in schools for educators. She highlights the lack of research on teacher mental health and the need for more support for new teachers. Melissa emphasizes the importance of addressing stress and burnout in teaching, as well as presenteeism and absenteeism. She also explores the challenges and barriers teachers face when taking leaves of absence and returning to work.
