2024 Schedule Deep Dive: Navigating Mental Health in Education
In the wake of the pandemic, both educators and students alike have faced difficulties adapting to the new challenges presented by our modern world. Mental health, a longstanding concern in education, has gained even more salience in current discussions as a result. Educators continue to search for a proactive approach to mental health and are increasingly implementing preventative strategies to address the well-being of students.
A study conducted by the CDC, revealed that more than 4 in 10 (42%) students felt consistently sad or hopeless and almost one-third (29%) experienced poor mental health.
