Teaching with Care is a practical guide that equips teachers with clear, evidence-based strategies to support learners\u2019 mental health and psychosocial well-being in the classroom. It provides guidance on how to create safe and inclusive learning environments, build positive relationships, promote social and emotional skills, recognize early signs of distress and link learners to appropriate support.\n<\/p>\n<p>Developed jointly by UNESCO, UNICEF and WHO, this guide translates global evidence into practical actions that teachers can apply in diverse contexts. It clarifies the essential but bounded role of teachers, who are not expected to diagnose mental health conditions or provide specialized care, and provides practical approaches for supporting their own well-being and that of their colleagues. The guide also emphasizes working with families, communities and wider support systems to strengthen learner well-being.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"dynamic-content__details\">\n<div class=\"detail who-team\">\n<div class=\"label\">WHO Team<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n                 <span><br \/>\nNoncommunicable Diseases and Mental Health (NMH)                 <\/span>\n         <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Reference numbers<\/div>\n<div class=\"value\">\n<div><strong class=\"label-sm\">ISBN: <\/strong><span>978-92-4-012491-2<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<div class=\"label\">Copyright<\/div>\n<p>                <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"creativecommons-icons-wrappers\" href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/igo\/\/deed.en\" rel=\"license\" title=\"Click here to see the details of CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/cc.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/by.svg\"><br \/>\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/ResourcePackages\/WHO\/assets\/icons\/cc-icons\/sa.svg\"><br \/>\n                <\/a>\n        <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/publications\/i\/item\/9789240124912?rand=6398\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download (1.6 MB) Overview Teachers are often the frontline adults closest to learners, and their everyday interactions can profoundly shape how children and young people feel, learn and thrive.
