- Description
- Students develop skills, gain knowledge, and achieve greater wellbeing by creating a positive school environment. Through the years, schools have realized the importance of mental health services for adolescents. Research on the role of schools in mental health awareness building and preventing mental health problems is meager, and focuses on students in the western context. This chapter focuses on the recommendations given by teachers on what role schools can play in identifying, preventing, and building awareness among adolescents. These recommendations are based on the themes obtained through semi-structured interviews with 24 teachers teaching 10th, 11th, and 12th graders in private high schools and colleges in Bangalore. Consequently, it aims to provide an overview of incorporating techniques and strategies to enhance mental health among school students in the Indian Scenario. 2024, IGI Global. All rights reserved.
