Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue titled "Mind Matters: Exploring Mental Health and Well-Being in the Education System".
This Special Issue aims to investigate the vital connections between mental health, overall well-being, and the educational environment, with a particular emphasis on the political and structural factors influencing these domains.
In light of the increasing recognition of the roles that mental health and well-being play in fostering academic success and personal development, we invite contributions that critically examine aspects of these topics within educational settings. We welcome submissions addressing subjects such as the impact of academic stress on student performance and well-being, the role of social–emotional learning in enhancing resilience and interpersonal skills, and the effects of loneliness and social isolation on student engagement and academic achievement.
Furthermore, we strongly encourage discussions that reflect on how educational policies and disparities shape mental health and well-being.
Through the dissemination of research, practical experiences, and innovative approaches, this Special Issue aims to deepen the understanding of how to create supportive and inclusive learning environments that prioritize mental health and overall well-being for all students, while also addressing the underlying structural and political challenges.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.
Deadline for abstract submissions: 15 November 2024
Best regards,
Dr. Till Kaiser
Prof. Dr. Christian Reintjes
