Driven by a deep commitment to the education, nursing, and midwifery communities, the Teachers Health Foundation actively champions their health and wellbeing. Established in 2014, we fund vital research aimed at understanding the unique health challenges faced by these essential professionals and their communities. We support projects that develop effective care models, address prevalent health issues, and ultimately foster healthier, more supported communities. Explore the impactful research we've funded and see how we're making a real difference.
