204 Teacher Mental Health, Life Insurance, Stress Leave campfire chat with Hamish Clark Choice Capital
In this campfire-style chat, I sit down with Hamish Clark - Financial Advisor and CEO at Choice Capital, Melbourne, to talk honestly with an education specific lens about mental health, stress leave, and what teachers need to know before claiming time off. Mental health claims have increased by 700% over the past 5 years.
We explore the risks of relying on the default life insurance in your superannuation and why tailored, expert advice is crucial - especially when your body and mind are the tools of your trade. From navigating rising classroom behaviours to dealing with the pressures of poor leadership, this episode hits close to home for every educator.
Tune in for practical insights, cautionary tales, and a few laughs along the way.
