Eradicating the Stigma Prioritizing Mental Health in PreK-16 Education
The first book in the Education, Equity, and Justice book series has sent out invitations for chapters. .
EDITORS:听Ian P. Levy, Manhattan College and Sam Steen, George Mason University.
2023 CALL FOR CHAPTERS (BY INVITATION ONLY):
The 2023 conference theme 鈥淓radicating the Stigma: Prioritizing Mental Health in PreK-16 Education鈥 centers on the importance of mental health support across primary and postsecondary settings. Education professionals have recognized the impact of mental health on students' learning and achievement, documenting consistently the ways mental health affects PreK-16 graduation rates, coursework, academic performance, motivation, and emotional stability. Complicating the challenges faced by students are also the demands placed on PreK-16 staff who are hired to support mental health. Often these staff are themselves overly stressed and at risk of burnout. This book will explore an array of symptoms of poor mental health in PreK-16 schools and highlight ways school districts, colleges, and universities are successfully, and unsuccessfully, seeking to promote the emotional health of their student body and staff. We will do so by soliciting chapters from interdisciplinary professionals in education, to both transcend the siloed nature of education, and collaborate on addressing PreK-16 student鈥檚 mental health through preventative and responsive approaches. Each chapter will include practical recommendations for mental health practitioners, teachers, higher education faculty, parents, and/or students.听
