A mental health lifeline for WOMEN in EDUCATION 
“Re-igniting the Spark: Durban Educators Embrace Wellness and Purpose”
On Saturday 8 November 2025, from 09h00 to 12h00, Westville Pre-Primary School hosted a powerful and uplifting mental health and wellness session led by Durban based, inspirational speaker and writer Jackie Psannis. The morning drew educators from across Durban, including representatives St Benedict School Port Natal Skool Glenridge Pre Primary School 2 Little Fishes Morningside Primary School  St Elizabeth's Pre-Primary School Sycamore Academy Clifton School IThemba Lethu Durban Kloof Junior Primary School and of course Westville Pre-Primary School
With her trademark warmth and humour, Jackie created a safe space for teachers to pause, reflect and reconnect with their passion for education. The session, part of an ongoing movement supporting women in education, was designed to help teachers rediscover their why - the reason they chose this demanding but deeply meaningful profession.
Jackie spoke about the reality of teaching being the profession that creates every other profession. She spoke about the immense challenges modern educators face, where administrative and operational demands often outweigh classroom time. Studies show that South African teachers spend roughly two-thirds of their working hours on actual teaching and the rest is swallowed up by paperwork, reporting and non-teaching duties. Many teachers in attendance nodded knowingly at that truth.
The session tackled a broad but practical range of themes including:
 • Rediscovering the why and the loves within teaching
 • Building confidence and self-worth
 • Understanding the dangers of perfectionism and comparison
 • Empowering and transforming negative self-talk
 • Building lasting self-confidence
 • Installing healthy boundaries and balance
 • Mental health and emotional resilience
 • Fostering healthy personal and environmental connections
… and most importantly, reigniting a renewed sense of purpose and fulfilment
For many, the event was more than just another training day. “My principal insisted I come,” laughed one teacher. “Honestly, I didn’t want to. I thought it would be another session telling us what to do, when to do it, and why - all just adding to my already overflowing to-do list. I even considered staying home to mark exam papers. But this was different. It gave me tools I can actually use and reminded me why I love what I do.”
Another participant added, “We knew we were exhausted, but we didn’t realise how much of our spark had been buried. Jackie helped us find it again.”
Jackie Psannis began her degree in Education before switching to her B.A. with majors in Psychology and English. She has been an inspirational speaker and writer for over two decades. Her passion for teachers and women in education inspired her upcoming book Houdini Healing, a personal account of her journey through depression and anxiety. The insights from her writing have shaped the foundation of these sessions, which focus on realistic, life-changing tools that go beyond theory.
From January 2026, Jackie will partner with Westville Pre-Primary School and Principal Rebecca Benwell to bring these wellness sessions to educators throughout Durban and KwaZulu-Natal, with plans to expand to Gauteng and Cape Town later in the year.
The message was clear - teachers are the backbone of every community, yet they are burning out faster than ever. Initiatives like this one remind us that when we care for our teachers, we strengthen every future they help create.  The event was made even more incredible with live singing from the very talented Tayne Martin (Instagram @tayne_martin24)
