Strengthening Wellbeing Atmosphere to Enhance Teaching and Learning Quality at SMP Darma Bangsa

To enhance attention to the physical and mental wellbeing of educators, strengthen positive social relationships, and foster a supportive school environment, SMP Darma Bangsa conducted a Wellbeing Training Program for all teachers on Monday, December 15, 2025, under the theme “Strengthening Wellbeing Atmosphere.” This program was designed to enhance teachers’ communication competencies, problem-solving skills, and professional collaboration as part of a strategic effort to cultivate a healthy, positive, and sustainable learning environment. The training is expected to contribute directly to improved teaching and learning practices, as well as to more effective interactions among teachers, students, and parents.

The program was facilitated by Mrs. Mirra Veranika, M.Psi., Psychologist, Cofounder of Pelangi Hati Clinic Lampung and Founder of Rumah Pintar Lampung. Throughout the sessions, participants were guided to deepen their understanding of effective communication within educational contexts, particularly in delivering information with empathy, building constructive relationships, and addressing challenges encountered in classroom practice and school dynamics.

In addition to communication and problem-solving strategies, the training emphasized the importance of wellbeing and mindfulness in professional practice. Teachers were introduced to practical relaxation and mindfulness techniques that can be integrated into daily routines and applied within the school setting. The sessions were conducted in an interactive format through reflective discussions, enabling participants to exchange professional experiences, reflect on personal practices, and collaboratively develop strategies to create engaging and emotionally supportive learning environments.

The program concluded with an art session, providing participants with a structured opportunity for self-expression, emotional regulation, and collegial bonding. Through this initiative, SMP Darma Bangsa reaffirmed its commitment to promoting educator wellbeing as a foundational element of educational quality. The school envisions that teachers’ holistic development—both professional and emotional—will contribute significantly to strengthening the school’s wellbeing culture and enhancing the overall quality of teaching and learning within the institution.
