Abstract

In order for students to gain mental health literacy, school-based programs that focus on such is needed in schools. Mental health issues are common among youth, so it is critical that they are provided the appropriate information and supports to educate them on mental health. Mental health literacy can be integrated into social–emotional learning programs through their shared similar goals, content, and implementation strategies.
