The study analyzed the state and factors affecting personal resilience, mental well-being, and turnover intention among public school teachers in the Philippines during the pandemic, and whether resilience and well-being could predict turnover intention. Using a sequential explanatory design with 384 quantitative and 12 qualitative participants, the quantitative phase utilized three standardized instruments: the Brief Resilience Scale, the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale, and the Turnover Intention Scale, while the qualitative phase employed thematic analysis of data gathered through semi-structured online interviews. Key factors affecting personal resilience were self-efficacy, family support, positivity, concern for students, and adaptability. Factors affecting Mental well-being were family support, spirituality, collegial support, social distancing, and news consumption. And Factors affecting Turnover intention were heavy workload, inadequate salary, unsupportive administration, and health concerns. A recommended framework for teachers' mental wellness in schools included creating a healthy working environment, promoting professional development opportunities, fostering self-care and work-life balance, and implementing mental wellness programs. This comprehensive approach aims to support teachers in maintaining their well-being and reducing turnover intention and other factors in the education system.
