Psychoeducational Approaches to Mental Health for Educators and Students

Mental health issues among educators and students, such as stress, burnout, anxiety, and depression, have been increasingly recognized. The well-being of these groups is closely linked to effective learning environments and academic success. Given the pressures of balancing personal and professional responsibilities, it is crucial to address mental health concerns within educational settings. Psychoeducational approaches offer a pathway to understanding and improving mental health by providing targeted education on coping strategies, resilience, and mental health literacy. This special issue explores how psychoeducational interventions can support educators and students, ultimately contributing to their well-being and the overall health of educational environments.

The primary aim of this Research Topic is to underscore the importance of psychoeducational interventions in enhancing mental health among educators and students. We hope to create a platform for sharing innovative research, practical insights, and evidence-based strategies by fostering an in-depth understanding of these approaches. This Research Topic will explore recent advances in psychoeducational practices and their effectiveness in preventing and addressing mental health problems. We aim to bridge existing research gaps by identifying the underlying causes of mental health issues in educational settings and proposing systematic, targeted interventions. Contributors will be encouraged to present evidence-based solutions and best practices that can be implemented at various academic levels to improve mental health education and outcomes.

This Research Topic invites contributions focusing on psychoeducational approaches to mental health for educators and students. Specific themes include the following:

• Development and implementation of psychoeducational programs;
• Impact of mental health education on resilience and self-care;
• Mental health interventions based on technology;
• Role of psychoeducation in fostering a positive institutional culture;
• Strategies for integrating mental health literacy into educational curricula;
• Case studies on successful psychoeducational interventions;
• Research on peer support and mentoring programs;
• Equity and inclusion in mental health education.

We welcome original research papers, reviews, case studies, opinions, and perspectives. Contributions should provide practical insights and evidence-based recommendations to enhance educators' and students' mental health and well-being through psychoeducational approaches.
