Abstract

This article is based on a review of teachers' mental health, and well-being is closely linked to student outcomes and the overall school environment. Teachers' mental health and well-being are essential components of the educational landscape, profoundly influencing not only their personal lives but also the well-being and academic achievements of their students. This article explores the intricate connections between teachers' mental health, student-teacher relationships, educational experiences, and the surrounding environment. Research shows that when teachers experience poor mental well-being, it can negatively impact students' mental health, resulting in adverse effects on the teaching and learning process. Consequently, it is crucial to implement interventions that bolster teachers' mental health, which can subsequently improve student learning outcomes. The article advocates for a holistic approach to enhancing teachers' mental health in Indonesia, which includes mental health literacy training, continuous professional development, and the establishment of supportive school environments. Training that emphasizes understanding mental health issues and the significance of seeking assistance can shift teachers' perspectives on mental health, promoting a more inclusive and supportive school culture. Furthermore, social support from colleagues and the broader community is highlighted as a vital element in improving teachers' mental health literacy. By adopting support systems akin to those found in other countries, such as Japan, Indonesia can foster a more conducive environment for both teachers and students. The article underscores the importance of structural and cultural transformations within schools to enhance the mental health of both educators and students. Through the implementation of evidence-based strategies, Indonesia can cultivate a healthier and more supportive educational atmosphere, ultimately benefiting the well-being of the entire school community.
