The current stage of the education system in Ukraine requires quick teachers development.

A fundamental premise for the successful teacher self-realization is their psychological health, which is a source of any activity and creativity. Emotionally and psychologically healthy teachers have a positive effect on their students at all stages of educational work. After all, the teacher's condition directly affects children not only at the knowledge level, but also at the emotional and bioenergy levels. A teacher suffering from psychological instability, personality deformation or burnout syndrome immediately affects the learning process quality and the health of children.
