SAOL Media Teacher Wellbeing Day

Welcome to our second annual SAOL Wellbeing Day! Join us on Thu Jan 29, 2026 at 10:00 for a day designed to support RE teachers and chaplains as they continue the vital work of Christian education in Ireland. This in-person event will take place at the beautiful Glasson Lakehouse, providing the perfect backdrop for a day of rest and reflection.

Based off the success of our training day last year, we decided that we wanted to host another event - but this time we want to focus more on teachers wellbeing. That's why we are inviting you back to Athlone; to provide you with a space for retreat. We have a mental health workshop, specifically created for YOU, by two of An Tobar Nua's experienced therapists, a guided prayer reflection, time for you to share challenges and insights, delicious lunch and a bit of craic. Of course, there will be opportunity for you to expand your knowledge on SAOL resources as well, in a supportive and engaging environment.

So, whether you're a seasoned RE teacher or just starting out, there will be something for everyone at this wellbeing day. See you there!
