Many of the mental disorders begin at the exact time that youth are in or entering Jr. High, High School or University

What impact do you think this has on students?

Mental health problems may lead to: School drop outs Difficulties in learning Behavioural difficulties Difficulties in performance More absenteeism School failure

So schools can be a great location for mental health promotion, early identification and intervention.

We need policies and plan that recognize integration of mental health into educational institutions What is needed to create mental health integration in schools??

In addition, mental health needs of teachers may be similar to those faced by students

“On-site” mental health models can also provide teacher support

After all, a more effective teacher, means more effective teaching, and more effective learners
