Full course description
Wellness is essential for both educators and learners to thrive in adult education environments. Yet, the unique challenges faced by adult learners—balancing work, family, and education—combined with the pressures on educators, often make wellness a lower priority. This interactive webinar will explore the critical importance of wellness, the mental health barriers learners face (including social isolation and parental demands), and the risks of burnout. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies to foster wellness, create a sense of belonging, and promote resilience. Through discussion, reflection, and engaging activity, participants will gain tools to cultivate a supportive and thriving adult education community.
