Mental health is important because students need a positive emotional, mental, and psychological wellbeing. If students have poor mental health, they are not able to perform well in school. Poor emotional health can lead to deeper problems such as thoughts of self-harm or suicidal ideation. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, please let someone you trust know about the situation.
