Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue in Sustainability will focus on current mental health challenges for children and youth and the importance of teachers and parents working together to improve mental health outcomes for young people. This special edition will accept articles focused on any aspects of child and youth psychological, social and/or developmental issues. However, all articles will be required to report on data, recommendations and/or methods that clearly outline how teachers, parents and others can work together to improve child and youth mental health and/or reduce cultural, economic and other risks to the mental wellbeing of children and youth.
The articles may include, but are not limited to, the consequences of climate change, disasters, and environmental hazards for children’s and adolescents’ mental health; evaluations of socioeconomic and cultural challenges that may impede mental wellbeing in children and youth; and the delivery of initiatives focused on teacher training and teacher–parent collaboration concerning improved mental health for children and youth.
