Support High Schoolers: Key to Post-Grad Success
7 Apr
Summary
- Interventions improve student well-being and lower stress.
- Social-emotional support builds resilience for life.
- Classroom-based support reaches more students effectively.
A recent study underscores the necessity of social and emotional support for high school students, particularly before they graduate.
Professor Renee Fensom's research highlights intervention methods that have successfully reduced stress and improved psychological well-being in students.
These classroom-based interventions, adapted from European models, offer a dedicated space for students to connect, express emotions, and develop coping skills.
The study focused on emotional regulation and environmental mastery, observing significant improvements in students' self-reported stress levels and overall psychological well-being.
Fensom advocates for these cost-effective, evidence-based, and adaptable programs to be integrated into high school counseling, reaching a broader student population than traditional office visits.
