Student Mental Health and Well-Being: A Review of Evidence and Emerging Solutions
Gross, Betheny; Hamilton, Laura
Center on Reinventing Public Education
In the summer of 2022, the Center on Reinventing Public Education convened a panel of education and youth development experts to take stock of recent efforts to address students' mental health and well-being and to reestablish core elements of social and emotional learning (SEL) in schools. The panel agreed that the pandemic's impact has been complex, but that there have been few dynamic and collaborative efforts to address it. While the experts recognized the tremendous demands placed on teachers to address students' academic as well as social and emotional needs, they noted that the kind of innovation they called for in 2021 (e.g., new kinds of learning environments, partnerships, and funding models for mental health and social skill development) had yet to materialize. The panelists arrived at three calls to action that reflect the challenges and opportunities young people are facing. Specifically, they call for policymakers and advocates to: (1) Embrace technological innovations that can improve student well-being while still honoring the fundamental need for human relationships; (2) Overcome turf wars and divisions; embrace "big tent" thinking for social and emotional development and well-being support; and (3) Build new, integrated monitoring and response systems to address the urgent needs of young people.
