Advancing mental health priorities in education
More than just a fad, such initiatives have shown encouraging results. Students who took the UK’s first “science of happiness” course at Bristol University were found to be happier and more resilient, having gained skills such as practical meditation techniques, and greater awareness of the habits that make them happy. Such positive developments in mental well-being and support in educational institutions are more than timely. In an uncertain and increasingly disruptive future, imparting key techniques for regulating their well-being will prove essential for students to thrive. |
