Abstract: This study examined the mental health of garments teachers in technical-vocational education, focusing on stress, anxiety, burnout, and coping mechanisms. Using a quantitative design, 50 garments and exploratory teachers from the CarCanMadCarLan area of Surigao del Sur, Philippines, were surveyed with a structured questionnaire adapted from validated instruments. Descriptive statistics, particularly the weighted mean, were used for analysis. Results showed that stress, anxiety, and burnout were generally at neutral levels, though signs of emotional fatigue and declining motivation were present. Teachers reported exhaustion and difficulty balancing workload with personal life, indicating potential risks if unaddressed. In contrast, coping mechanisms were rated high, with strong reliance on social support, relaxation techniques, and restorative activities. These findings suggest that while garments teachers maintain a balanced mental health status, emerging signs of strain highlight the need for institutional support. Strengthening wellness programs, managing workloads, and providing professional development can build on existing coping strategies and help sustain teacher well-being in technical-vocational education.
