Abstract
The pandemic revealed significant gaps in mental health support for educators. This letter emphasizes the need for sustained mental health services, urging governments and institutions to provide resources, integrate mental health education into curricula, and create supportive work environments. Long-term strategies such as regular screenings and normalizing psychological support are essential for educators' well-being.
