More than a response to crises, consistent mental health resources create an environment where students and staff alike can thrive. Schools are moving beyond reactive approaches to embed mental health in daily life, fostering resilience and care through dedicated support systems, ongoing training, and inclusive wellbeing initiatives. By embracing a proactive and comprehensive approach, educators empower the entire school community to cultivate long-term resilience and reduce stigma, ultimately supporting academic and personal growth.
