Children's success in school and life is directly linked to their mental health. Many of us either do not understand the connection or just ignore it.
Mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices.
There is a very crucial need to understand this area of children at school. This is a manual (See at the end) published by CBSE board, which lays down perspectives on MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING.
The 21st century emerging challenges have necessitated that the schools also shift the focus to the psychosocial needs of students and take care of the overall wellbeing.
The schools should take actions and adopt strategies for identification and prevention of various mental health and wellbeing needs, which would create safe school environment. The priority in schools should mainly be about early identification at the individual and systemic level.
This document attempts to align the role and importance of, parents, schools, teachers, counselors, special educators as immediate care givers at different developmental phases of students.
