TeachSpark cares about teachers as people, not just as users of a tool. This page is a starting point for support — from quick self-care resources for the everyday weight of teaching to real crisis help when you need it.
Call or text 988, or use online chat, for free, confidential support 24/7/365 — for suicidal thoughts, mental health crises, substance use crises, or any emotional distress. Available in English, Spanish, and (via interpretation) 240+ languages. You don't have to be in a suicidal crisis to use it.
1-800-662-4357 (1-800-662-HELP). Free, confidential, 24/7 treatment referral and information service for mental health or substance use concerns. Does not provide crisis counseling itself but connects callers to local treatment and support resources.
Practical guidance from the national nonprofit Mental Health America, written specifically for teachers on setting boundaries, checking in with colleagues, and protecting wellbeing during the school year.
The National Education Association's hub of wellness guidance for educators, including tips on physical and mental wellness, stress management, and burnout prevention. (Link goes to NEA's main site — search 'Educating Through Crisis' if the specific page has moved.)
