Educators Have Been Shown to Make a Difference
There’s been some debate about the role of educators in student mental health. On one hand, it’s important to recognize that educators are not trained mental health professionals. On the other hand, there’s the reality that educators work closely with students and feel a responsibility to help.
Research shows that educators can make a significant difference to student mental health. Educators, however, also need to have their own support to know how to effectively and confidently assist their students.
