Teaching in the Tension: Finding Clarity and Calm When Everything Competes for Your Time
Virtual Session 3 – January 20, 2026 from 6:30-7:30 pm
Presented by Dr. Shahana Alibhai, MD, CCFP, Professional speaker, family physician and mental health expert
Teachers give so much of themselves to everyone else that it becomes easy to miss the early signs of their own exhaustion. In this session, Dr. Shahana brings a compassionate and practical lens to the realities of burnout in education. Together we explore why chronic overload happens, how competing responsibilities drain cognitive and emotional bandwidth, and what small but powerful interventions can restore a sense of control. This is a supportive space to reconnect with purpose, recalibrate expectations, and walk away with strategies that help you feel steadier in the middle of constant demands.
