It is both enriching and challenging to work with the California Teaching Fellows Foundation. This role requires patience, resilience, and commitment to ensure the growth and development of statewide students.
These challenges, however, can sometimes take their toll on your mental health. In some instances, they may develop into substance use.
Although CTFF offers health insurance, paid time off, and other resources that may help offset some of these demands, the pressure of your position could contribute to stress-related or other mental health challenges. That’s why seeking appropriate professional resources through My Time Recovery can help you effectively navigate the recovery process.
California Teaching Fellows Foundation Overview
The California Teaching Fellows Foundation (CTFF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring the next generation of leaders with a passion for teaching and learning. Its mission is to impact the lives of youth by providing opportunities for college students and future leaders to gain hands-on experience in teaching and leadership.
For example:
- CTFF fellows gain first-hand experience in classrooms, working closely with students and school districts to enhance their teaching skills and understanding of educational environments.
- Practical experience equips future teachers with the tools they need to succeed and make a positive impact in their schools and communities.
- CTFF’s commitment extends beyond the classroom, as fellows work to create a supportive network for all members of the Teaching Fellows Scholarship Program.
How Do Substance Abuse and Mental Health Challenges Affect Your Job at CTFF?
Your role at the CTFF requires you to be clear, focused, and interpersonally positive. However, mental health problems and substance-use impairments reduce one’s ability to relate well to students, younger children, and other colleagues.
Substance use impairs brain functioning and physical coordination, which eventually reduces productivity and contributes to other work-performance issues, such as tardiness, absenteeism, or conflict with coworkers and supervisors. Such difficulties tend to escalate tensions and can reduce morale in your workplace, including in those around you.
Substance use disorders tend to be associated with mental health conditions, which creates a vicious cycle of issues that poorly affect your professional and personal life.
Thankfully, seeking assistance can break this vicious cycle and return your control over your well-being.
How Can My Time Recovery Help CTFF Employees with Substance Use and Mental Health Challenges in Education?
My Time Recovery realizes the special pressures placed on educators and teaching fellows. Stress, anxiety, and even trauma can be contributors to substance use and mental health struggles. Tutors play a crucial role in providing additional support and guidance to students, which can alleviate some of the pressures faced by educators.
Treatment programs at My Time Recovery address these deeper issues in a compassionate, supportive environment.
We offer:
Customized Care: Programs tailored to your needs. From stress, anxiety, depression, and other struggles to comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment, we have it all covered.
