conquer – The mental health crisis

Description

This book, “Conquer—the Mental Health Crisis,” has been designed to empower teachers, educators, and school administrators to respond effectively to one of the most urgent challenges facing today’s students—rising stress, depression, and suicide risk. In the modern educational environment, teachers are no longer just transmitters of knowledge; they are often the first observers of a child’s emotional struggles. This guide equips them with the tools, understanding, and confidence to recognize early warning signs, provide immediate support, and connect students with appropriate professional help. The book begins by explaining the nature of suicide among students, outlining key causes such as academic pressure, family conflict, loneliness, and the influence of digital media. It highlights the risk factors that increase vulnerability and the protective factors—like supportive relationships and resilience—that can safeguard young lives. Teachers are guided to notice subtle changes in behavior: withdrawal from activities and sudden mood changes.
