Abstract: This study explores the well-being and mental health of Overseas Filipino Special Education Teachers (SPED) with a focus on burnout, productivity factors, and various dimensions of wellness. Drawing on existing literature, the research identifies the prevalence and correlates of burnout among educators, highlighting the sociological and organizational factors contributing to this phenomenon. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and interviews, the study investigates the burnout status among SPED teachers, factors influencing their productivity, and their overall well-being across physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions. Findings reveal moderate levels of burnout, influenced by extended work hours, poor working conditions, and limited family communication, while social support emerges as a critical resource for enhancing productivity and well-being. Additionally, SPED teachers demonstrate commendable health-promoting behaviors but also exhibit areas requiring attention, such as dietary habits and engagement in intellectual activities. The study underscores the importance of targeted interventions, such as the Transformative Health and Resilience for International Versatile Educators (THRIVE) Intervention Program, in addressing the unique challenges faced by overseas Filipino SPED teachers and promoting their overall well-being and effectiveness in international educational settings.
