Our final day of the Teacher’s Training Programme focused on Mental Health Support and equipping educators with practical tools to better support both themselves and their learners.

Teachers from Kwena Molapo Secondary School and Cosmo City 1 Primary School participated in Mental Health First Aid training, closing reflections, and discussions on the way forward.

Creating emotionally safe schools starts with empowered educators. By prioritising mental health awareness and psychosocial support, we contribute toward stronger classrooms, healthier learners, and more compassionate communities.

We are grateful to every teacher who participated openly and wholeheartedly throughout the programme. Together, we continue building spaces of healing, resilience, and hope.

Day 2 of our Teacher’s Training Programme was centered on deepening the Tree of Life process and strengthening connection among educators from Kwena Molapo Secondary School and Cosmo City 1 Primary School.

The day included re-telling sessions, the “Forest” activity, discussions around storms and challenges faced in schools and communities, as well as preparation for graduation. These activities encouraged teachers to reflect on both their personal and professional journeys while recognising the strength that exists within collective support systems.

We ended the day by celebrating growth, participation, and commitment during our graduation ceremony — honouring educators who continue to show up for learners despite the many pressures they face daily.

In the past weekend, Phola held another meaningful Teacher’s Training Programme with educators from Kwena Molapo Secondary School and Cosmo City 1 Primary School.

The first day focused on introducing the Phola Tree of Life methodology — creating a safe and reflective space where teachers could connect, share experiences, and begin strengthening their psychosocial support skills. Through storytelling, drawing activities, and meaningful conversations, educators explored the importance of resilience, identity, and emotional wellbeing within the school environment.

Teachers are not only educators; they are often the first line of emotional support for learners. Investing in their wellbeing and capacity is an important step toward building healthier and more supportive schools.
