RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s National Center for Mental Health Promotion released two guides to strengthen mental health support in schools: A specialized magazine and a manual addressing psychological challenges.
The center said the resources aim to raise awareness and provide educators with tools to handle complex issues, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.
They include practical counseling methods and clear referral protocols for students needing specialist care, the SPA added.
The magazine is an educational resource that explores the link between mental wellness, academic performance and social development.
The manual offers educators and school counselors evidence-based frameworks, including preventive measures and therapeutic interventions at different levels.
Officials said both publications follow World Health Organization and UNICEF standards and support Vision 2030’s goal of safe and healthy learning environments.
The initiative also includes training programs and workshops in partnership with the Ministry of Education, according to the SPA report.
