Promoting Students’ Well-being and Mental health in schools: strategies for teachers and school staff

Overview

Addressing mental health in schools is crucial, impacting students’ learning abilities, social interactions, academic success, and overall quality of life. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive and coordinated approach, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) has underscored the promotion of mental health and well-being in educational institutions.

Despite a growing awareness of this importance, substantial efforts are still required in Europe to effectively address mental health concerns.
Teachers, as frontline advocates for student development, stand at the forefront of this transformative journey.

Their role extends beyond conventional academic instruction; they are key facilitators in creating a nurturing and supportive atmosphere that fosters mental health awareness and resilience.
