Secondary Traumatic Stress in Teaching

Teaching is not just about academics; it is also about holding the weight of students' lives. Secondary Traumatic Stress in Teaching uncovers the hidden cost of teaching—the toll of secondary traumatic stress—and demonstrates how teachers don’t have to go it alone.

Written with both compassion and clarity, this book shows educators how to recognize the signs, protect their well-being, and rediscover resilience. Through teacher stories, practical strategies, and tools that spark real change, this book makes space for hope and healing in schools. This is more than a call to "self-care," instead it points the way toward collective care and systemic support.

This book is for teachers, school leaders, and education students who want to fulfill their calling without losing themselves in the process.
