Teachers on the Front Lines – S6 Ep17 (Full Episode – Audio Only)

What are teachers seeing in today's classrooms? In this episode of Voices of Compassion, we talk with Amanda Morin, neurodiversity expert, speaker, and author. Our conversation takes an honest look at what K–12 educators are facing right now: the rise in student mental health needs, the pressure to wear multiple hats, and the very real toll it can take on teacher well-being. Together, we explore how these challenges are affecting both students and educators, why supporting teachers matters, and what schools and communities can do to help. In this episode, you'll hear about: • Student mental health and its impact on learning • Teacher stress, burnout, and well-being • The changing role of educators in today's schools • How schools can better support students and staff • Why collaboration between families, educators, and mental health professionals matters Most importantly, this conversation reminds us that supporting students starts with supporting the people who show up for them every day. 📅 Aired: April 22, 2026
