school mental health initiatives

School mental health initiatives are programs designed to support students’ emotional and psychological well-being. They may include counseling services, mental health education, and staff training to recognize and address students’ needs. These initiatives aim to create a safe, supportive environment where students can develop resilience, manage stress, and thrive academically and socially. By integrating mental health services into schools, they help reduce stigma, improve access to care, and promote overall well-being, which can positively impact students’ success and long-term health.
