Description

The critical significance of addressing precarity within the neoliberal education system is the implementation of comprehensive interventions and support systems. The text identifies addiction, resilience, and mindfulness as crucial elements in addressing the intricate challenges that individuals encounter within educational environments. Substance abuse frequently manifests as a means of coping with tension, highlighting the criticality of robust support networks. Mindfulness is a potentially effective strategy for navigating uncertainty through cultivating resilience and emotional regulation. Support systems for mental health and mentoring programs, examples of initiatives that foster resilience, are crucial in enabling individuals to confront precarious circumstances effectively. Adopting a comprehensive strategy incorporating mindfulness, addiction treatment, and resilience development is imperative to advancing educational equity and well-being. 2026, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
