Colegio de Profesores considera absolutamente insuficiente Plan de Salud Mental

So, I was reading this article about the Colegio de Profesores, and how they’re not happy with the government’s Plan de Salud Mental. Basically, they think it’s completely inadequate.

The plan is supposed to address the mental health needs of Chilean society, but the teachers’ union argues that it doesn’t go far enough in terms of resources, training, and prevention. They say that mental health issues are becoming more prevalent in schools, and that teachers need more support to deal with them.

As a former teacher myself, I can definitely relate. I remember some of my students struggling with depression, anxiety, and other issues, and feeling at a loss as to how to help them. It’s not just about having more psychologists or therapists available - it’s also about giving teachers the tools and training they need to identify and respond to these issues in a compassionate and informed way.

Overall, I think this is an important topic that deserves more attention. Mental health is a crucial aspect of education and well-being, and it affects students and teachers alike. We need to do more to make sure that everyone feels supported and empowered to take care of their mental health.
