Due to social change, teachers of religion in schools are having to deal with increasing requirements in terms of stress management, resilience and the ability to cope with crisis situations. Therefore, the Archdiocese of Salzburg is committed to promoting “the mental health of teachers of religion through professional training and psychological support programmes”, as Erwin Konjecic, director of the school and education office of the Archdiocese, stated. 814 teachers work in Salzburg, taking care of approximately 57,000 students in 496 schools. Over 7,000 teachers all over Austria devote themselves to “making children and young people learn the treasure of faith”, Archbishop Franz Lackner acknowledged, as he praised these trainers’ work. To contribute to the mental health and professional gratification of teachers of religion, “so that they can successfully manage the exacting daily routine of teaching in the long term”, the professional development programme of the Diocese includes measures to strengthen and support the teaching staff, Konjecic explained. In addition to lessons and drills, there is increasing demand for tailored consultancy and support services, provided in different forms both by the “Edith Stein” teacher training college and by the School Office.
