  • Abstract:
  • Learning is a process that requires proper concentration, interest, a healthy environment, a healthy body, and sound mental health. Mental health and the environment play a crucial role in making learning successful. It is a psychological process related to an abstract concept, enabling one to think and acquire knowledge. A child cannot attain complete satisfaction and quality education unless they are well-adjusted to their environment and mentally healthy. This study aimed to examine the role of the school environment in students’ mental health and explore supportive strategies for promoting their well-being. The research is qualitative and descriptive in nature. A sample of 32 students and four schools was selected using a random sampling technique. Data was collected through observation and questionnaires. The major findings indicate that the institutional environment significantly impacts students' mental health. Based on these findings, the researchers recommended strategies to promote students’ mental well-being. Supportive strategies such as meditation, yoga, exercise, awareness programs, counseling, a positive home environment, sports, and recreational facilities are essential for managing students' stress.
