Numerous expectations placed on students today may have an adverse effect on

their mental health. Students frequently have demanding schedules that leave them with

little time for sleep and self-care due to the pressure of attaining high academic standards,

navigating the social media landscape, and maintaining relationships with their

classmates. Along with the usual stresses of life, many students are also dealing with

discomfort, crises, and trauma. Students who experience mental health issues may

experience detrimental effects in all spheres of functioning, which may result in social,

emotional, behavioral, and academic issues.

This study is conducted to introduce the mental health issues among students and

its effect on their academic performances. The most advantageous method in opposing

these issues is by creating and providing sustainable reasoning in this study. Developing

this can also expound the knowledge of beneficiaries of the study.

In the light of this research, this study is conducted to determine the mental health

issues among students and its effect on their academic performances. The findings of this

study aim to help the students to develop and improve their personality and to properly

manage themselves towards the different factors affecting them.

This study aims to determine and establish an action plan to resolve the mental health

issues among students and its effect on their academic performances. Specifically, it seeks to

propose the following actions:

1. Discourse about mental health

For the purpose of reducing the stigma associated with mental health, students

require open and continuing communication. Since almost 50% of all mental health

3
 illnesses begin before the age of 14, and many cases go undiagnosed and untreated, the

earlier these conversations begin, the better. Effective conversations can be encouraged

by school-wide awareness-raising tactics including giving mental health and wellbeing

advice during morning announcements or assemblies.

2. Providing teachers and staff with the necessary training

To properly recognize and react to signs of mental health issues, educators need

training. When a student is in trouble or in a crisis, teachers are frequently the first

adults they turn to, but many say they feel unprepared to offer direct support or to refer

students to other resources. To fully and successfully meet the needs of students,

schools must have the resources to offer comprehensive training and on-site mental

health support services.

3. Integrating mental health into the classroom

It is possible to incorporate mental health education into academics and

classwork without unduly taxing teachers. For instance, a lesson in social studies might

point out and talk about mental health issues (such as trauma and stigma) in books that

the students are reading. While older students learn about and discuss the social

repercussions of various mental health issues, younger students may learn how to

recognize, define, and manage emotions.

4. Protecting teachers

Schools must make sure to support educators' mental health needs in addition to

addressing the needs of students. High levels of daily stress among teachers have a

detrimental effect on students' social development and academic

performance.Numerous organizationalnd/or individual-level initiatives, such as

4
 workplace wellness initiatives, mentorship programs for teachers, and mindfulness

exercises, can be beneficial.

5. Set Realistic Goals

In order to improve your mental health, you need to set some realistic goals in

your life. This gives a student a sense of achievement and also helps them to gain self-

confidence and self-esteem.
