Description
This book presents youth mental health as a core education-system, public-health, inclusion, and policy-implementation priority in India. It argues that young people’s mental health cannot be addressed only after crisis or through counselling alone. Instead, schools, colleges, universities, coaching centres, hostels, teacher education systems, health departments, NGOs, and state-level implementation agencies must work together to build promotion, prevention, early support, referral, crisis-response, recovery, reintegration, and accountability pathways.
The book develops a systems-oriented framework for youth mental health in Indian education settings. It examines how academic pressure, examination stress, coaching-centre competition, hostel isolation, bullying, digital stress, discrimination, disability exclusion, neurodiversity-related barriers, stigma, family expectations, fear of failure, and weak institutional support can affect student well-being.
The book draws upon Indian policy and programme references such as NEP 2020, Manodarpan, Tele-MANAS, School Health and Wellness Programme, Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram, District Mental Health Programme, National Suicide Prevention Strategy, UGC student support guidance, anti-ragging frameworks, disability inclusion policies, UMMEED-style student safety guidance, and coaching-centre regulation. It also uses broader conceptual traditions including ecological systems thinking, prevention science, stepped-care models, trauma-informed education, whole-school and whole-institution approaches, stigma-reduction frameworks, mental-health literacy, implementation science, and youth participation.
The book is not a clinical manual, diagnostic guide, psychotherapy text, or emergency intervention document. It is a policy-research and institutional design volume intended to support planning, training, institutional preparedness, referral linkage, monitoring, student voice, reintegration, and accountability in youth-facing education systems.
