Abstract
The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) explore special education teachers' mental health after reopening schools during Covid-19 and (b) identify the psychological services that they needed to safeguard their mental health. In total, 10 special education teachers represented the sample of this study: three from middle schools, four from elementary schools, and three from high schools. This sample was selected using the maximal variation sampling technique. One-on-one, semi-structured interviews were carried out with the research participants. Thematic analyses of the data generated two emergent themes: stressors and psychological support. In order to safeguard special education teachers' mental health, a personalized approach to mental health services has been recommended.
